On Tuesday, February 11, 2020, at 8:04PM, Amarillo PD Officers were sent to the Toot N Totum at 2300 Dumas Drive on a subject reporting to have been shot while in Thompson Park. When officers arrived, they met with a male, age 30, and a female, age 29. They had been in Thompson park and were approached by 2 men in a vehicle. The male victim got out to see what the other vehicle wanted, and they asked him a question. The male victim didn’t know what they were talking about so turned to get back in his car and the suspects started shooting at him. Both the male and female victims received gunshot wounds. The male was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the female refused treatment at the time of the report.
While officers were investigating the first incident, at 8:17PM, a call was dispatched of shots fired in the 2500 Block of N. Wilson, and officers, who were already in the area for the first call, responded immediately. A witness reported that a male subject had been shot, and he was located a short time later in the 2500 block of Thorne. This male victim, age 19, had been assaulted and shot on Wilson street and had run away from the suspects and made it to Thorne street where officers located him. He was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Also, during this time, at 8:35PM, a call was dispatched of shots fired in the parking lot of the D&T FoodMart at 1712 NE 24th. Officers still in the area, responded to the scene. The witness there said a male subject was in the parking lot and fired several rounds from a gun into the air, but no one was injured at this location.
If anyone has any information relating to any of these 3 cases, we ask that you contact the Amarillo PD Violent Crimes Unit. These incidents are still under investigation.
