The Texarkana Texas Police Department is investigating the homicide of Kaitlin Lee, 23, of Texarkana Texas, who was shot on Tuesday night near Brookwood Drive.

Officers were initially dispatched to a report of a large disturbance involving approximately twenty juveniles in the 200 block of Apache Trail at 9:38 last night. The 9-1-1 caller said that several gunshots had been fired and the group of people had fled south toward Wade Lane. While officers were checking the area for the disturbance, a second 9-1-1 call was received at 9:47 stating that a woman had been discovered laying the alley south of Brookwood Drive. Officers found Lee there, suffering from a gunshot wound to her head. She was transported to Christus St. Michael Hospital, where she died early Wednesday morning. Detectives do not believe that Lee was involved in the disturbance and was likely struck by a stray bullet that had been fired.

The investigation continues this morning as detectives continue to try to identify and interview those involved in the disturbance. No arrests have been made at this point.

This is the first homicide this year in Texarkana Texas.
