Keene police said the juvenile fired multiple shots
after an argument between the adult suspect and the employee turned
physical.
KEENE, Texas — Officials in Johnson County say a juvenile was one of
two people arrested in connection to a deadly shooting in Keene on
Saturday night. The juvenile has not been identified, but the Johnson County Sheriff's Office said the suspect is 12 years old.
According
to a social media post from the Keene Police Department, they received
multiple calls at 9:40 p.m. about a shooting at the Sonic Drive-In on South Old Betsy Road.
When police arrived, they were directed to a man who was lying
in the parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds. Police say they helped
the victim until medical personnel arrived. He was then flown to a
hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
Keene Police identified the victim as 32-year-old Matthew Davis, a Keene resident who worked at the Sonic Drive-In.
Investigators
believe the shooting started with an argument between Davis and the
adult suspect, who has been identified as 20-year-old Angel Gomez.
According
to police, Gomez was "being disorderly" in the Sonic parking lot after
he arrived in a vehicle with other people. Gomez was then confronted by
Davis, and the argument soon became physical.
While they were fighting, police say a juvenile in Gomez's vehicle retrieved a gun and fired multiple shots, hitting the victim.
Police said Gomez and the juvenile fled the area. Gomez returned to the scene and was arrested.
The
juvenile was arrested after multiple agencies did an investigation that
led them to a location in Rio Vista. Keen Police say multiple guns were
also recovered at that location.
Gomez and the juvenile have been charged with murder, according to police.
