It's April 5th, from your city to your ears. This is Dallas News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 33-year-old Fort Worth man named Marcus Renfrow sits in jail after shooting another guy right in the groin. His family insists he stepped up to shield his underage nieces from a creep, allegedly luring them with offers of meth and sex. Police got calls Friday morning to the 3700 block of century place about a possibly high dude soliciting kids in the area. Family says this wasn't his first run in messing with young ones around the neighborhood. Relatives describe a tense exchange where words flew, then the man rushed Marcus from behind as he walked off. His wife Jamie, 24 weeks pregnant, backs him fully, saying she'd want the same protection after her own rough past. Cops rolled up just in time to hear the gunshot, found the wounded man who massed the sketch, and rushed him to the hospital. He's expected to pull through fine. Investigators keep digging into the details to sort self-defense from protection of the

kids, while Renfrow cools his heels in Taren County jail with. No bond for now.
