A Texas-side man was arrested early Friday on a charge of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting at Beechdale Apartments earlier this week.
Leroy Davis, 44, was found at Beechdale Apartments in the 2400 block of County Avenue when police arrived about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials believe the victim was accompanied by at least two people, one of whom is believed to be a woman.
Based on interviews of witnesses and evidence found at the crime scene, detectives secured an arrest warrant for the suspect.
"Detectives believe the elements of this incident that led up to the victim's shooting death are connected to illegal drug activity. It is believed the victim was at the address located on County Avenue to facilitate his involvement in clandestine drug activities," Harness wrote in a press release.
This case remains under investigation, and anyone with information is urged to call TAPD at 903-798-3130.
