Forney police search for 2 suspects after "targeted" fatal shooting, officials say
Forney police are searching for two suspects after a "targeted" deadly shooting on Sunday.
Officials said police were called to a shooting inside a home in the 300 block of Eagle Ridge. One person, 22-year-old Erma Elansia Qualls, was found dead and police said the initial investigation suggests the attack was targeted.
There are currently two suspects, police said, last seen near the Eagle Ridge, Van Buren, and Cisco areas. Officials said Monday the suspects are identified as 19-year-old Mysiah Dymond Clark and 18-year-old Jakub Laon East-Walker.
On Monday, the department said East-Walker was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. Clark is still being sought.
Police initially warned residents to stay inside their homes, but later said they believe the suspects left the area quickly after the deadly shooting and that officers are working to find them.
"The area search for the suspects has ceased as we do believe they left the area quickly after the incident. However, we are diligently working to identify and locate the suspect(s)," Forney police said in a statement. "The public may resume normal activities but we do still ask for everyone to stay away from the scene as it is still active."
This is a developing story. CBS News Texas will provide updates as they become available.
