The man killed in his home in north Fort Worth on Monday was a boxing coach at a local gym who had worked with the Fort Worth Police Athletic League.

Joe Guzman was killed about 4:45 p.m., when he was shot by a juvenile relative, according to police. Guzman was identified to Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV by family members.

Police said Tuesday that the boy, who was at Guzman’s house in the 3300 block of Ray Simon Drive when officers arrived, has been taken into custody of the juvenile detention center.

Police did not release the boy’s age or describe his precise relationship with Guzman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Guzman, 60, was a longtime boxing coach. In addition to his work with the Police Athletic League, friends and family said on social media that Guzman was a coach with Texas Golden Gloves in Fort Worth, a nonprofit organization that works with youths.

Police did not immediately respond to a Star-Telegram email asking for details about Guzman’s work with the Police Athletic League.
