At 10:22 am Friday morning, the Nacogdoches Combined 911 Center received calls reporting gunfire in the 1000 block of Hackberry Street. Callers reported seeing one subject running from the scene of a vehicle in the street and another subject laying in the street near the vehicle.
When officers arrived they discovered the subject lying in the street suffering from gunshot wounds and two other subjects seated in the car, also suffering gunshot wounds. A fourth subject was reported to be the person who ran from the scene.
One of those seated inside the car was pronounced deceased at the scene. The other two subjects were transported to local hospitals but both were pronounced deceased a short time later.
The fourth subject is still at large. NPD personnel are following leads on the location of the fourth subject.
The identity of one of the deceased is still unknown. The two deceased whose identities are known are Dequavious LeCharles Brooks 17, of Nacogdoches and Edward Alejandro Rivera, 18, also of Nacogdoches.
NPD feels confident that this incident was a targeted and isolated incident and that the neighborhood and general public are not in any danger.
More information will be released as it becomes available.
