The Amarillo Police Department gave an update on a homicide investigation Friday in connection to last weekend’s deadly shooting, noting all current charges in the case have been dropped as a second suspect and more information is sought.
“As this investigation progresses, the APD Homicide Unit continues to gather evidence including witness statements, video, digital downloads, and ballistic evidence,” APD said in the Friday afternoon update. “Due to newly developed evidence and information, it was discovered that there will be a second shooter involved in the Avondale homicide from earlier this week.”
