On Thursday, July 23, 2015, at 12:04 p.m., Lewisville Police received a call for “shots heard” in the 100 block of Forestbrook Drive. The call was subsequently upgraded to a “person shot”. Witnesses observed two suspects flee a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of the street near the intersection of Oak Bend and Forestbrook. The witness last saw the suspects enter a wooded area adjacent to the vehicle. The witness stated both suspects were African-American, with one being a male and the other gender uncertain.

Upon arrival, officers located a male decedent inside of a 2004 green, Nissan Altima. Officers immediately set up a perimeter around the wooded area in an attempt to contain the suspects. The wooded area was searched with the assistance of a canine unit from the Little Elm Police Department and a helicopter from the Department of Public Safety. The suspects were able to escape the wooded area before a solid perimeter could be established.

We are still in the very initial stages of this investigation. Detectives will work the crime scene and interview any witnesses. This is the second reported homicide in Lewisville for 2015. Lewisville had one in 2014.

The decedent’s identity has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.
