A 69-year-old man who was shot in the head during a robbery at his Fort Worth home late last month is dead.
John Porter died Thursday morning at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office.
Family members said a man burst into Porter's home March 28 and shot he and his wife, Diane.
The Porters were getting ready to leave their home on Cool Spring Drive and had just opened the garage door when the man surprised them, said Diane 's brother-in-law, Larry Preuit.
Diane was shot in the stomach and is recovering at John Peter Smith Hospital after a second surgery, Preuit said.
James Floyd, 50, was taken into custody after investigators found his car with a flat tire abandoned at a gas station about a mile away from the Porters' home.
Floyd was arrested in Terrell, where police recovered the Porter's stolen SUV.
