A Mansfield man is in Tarrant County custody on a $1 million bond after facing allegations of attempted murder.
Tarrant County booking records show that Gaganot Singh of Mansfield was booked into the Tarrant County Corrections Center on October 16. The jail’s online database initially listed the charge as “murder,” but Mansfield police later clarified the charge as criminal attempted murder.
In an email to The Dallas Express, Mansfield Police Department media relations officer Cecily Santana also said Singh was arrested on October 15 in Mansfield.

Santana added, “We have identified the victim. We are the lead investigating agency. The investigation is ongoing, and we have not released the circumstances surrounding Mr. Singh’s arrest or any preliminary information about the alleged offense.”
According to Tarrant County jail records, Singh remains in custody at the Tarrant County Corrections Center. The records list the arresting agency as the Mansfield Police Department and show a $1 million bond.
Santana said no additional information about the alleged crime has been released. She did not disclose the name or condition of the victim, and it is unclear what led to the charge.
Court and jail records did not provide more information about the case. This is a developing story and will be updated as more details become available.
The arrest came just days before another high-profile North Texas case in which a suspect accused of killing three people crashed his van into a Buc-ee’s store in Ennis and shot himself, according to law enforcement. That man, identified as 29-year-old Christopher Kyle Reid Jr. of Hubbard, was suspected in a triple homicide in Mabank before the violent incident on October 17, The Dallas Express reported.
