One man died in a shooting in Lewisville on Thursday afternoon, according to a news release from the Lewisville Police Department.
Around 2 p.m. in the 200 block of East Round Grove Road, a group of men in two vehicles got into an altercation in the parking lot behind the Popeye’s restaurant.
“Words were exchanged and at least two men got out of the vehicles and began shooting at each other,” a LPD spokesman said. “Both cars took off from the scene.”
Police located one car, a black Porsche, with two men inside at a nearby apartment complex. One of the men died from a gunshot wound to the stomach, according to LPD, and the second man was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand not believed to be life-threatening.
Police are still looking for the second vehicle, which witnesses described as a Chrysler (model unknown). It is unknown Thursday evening if the person(s) in the second vehicle suffered any injuries.
“There is no threat to the community as it appears the group of men were acquaintances and this was a meet-up spot,” the LPD spokesman said.
