Texarkana Police are investigating a homicide that occurred early this morning in the 2000 block of West 18th Street.
Patrol officers responded to a report of a shooting victim in front of a residence at that location at 12:14 this morning. When officers arrived, they found Deandre “Shawn” Bush, 27, of Texarkana Texas slumped over in the front seat of a vehicle parked. Officers attempted to provide first aid to Bush but quickly determined that he was already deceased. Bush had what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds to his body.
Police say that they believe that he was shot through the open driver’s side window from a close distance as he sat in the car.
Bush’s body has been sent to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Dallas for an autopsy.
This is the second homicide in the last two days in Texarkana, Texas. Yesterday, Casey Smith was shot outside a residence in the 2400 block of Mamie Street. There is not any indication that the two are related.
Anyone with information on either of these two homicides is asked to call the Texarkana Police Department at 903-798-3116 or CrimeStoppers at 903-793-STOP.
