Fort Worth Police Officer Daniel Segura told FOX 4 he did not know what the correspondence was about, but whatever it was, Smith was at the front office to deal with an issue at the property where he lived.

As Smith spoke to an employee of the apartment complex, things got heated and the office worker called Aybar to help diffuse a tense situation.
