Background Information:

On Thursday, July 23, 2015, at 12:04 p.m., Lewisville Police received a call for “shots heard” in the 100 block of Forest Brook 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 Forest Brook. 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 19-year-old male, later identified as Jarrod Dewayne Black deceased 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.
