The arrest is expected to bring a series of roadside shootings in the Odessa, Texas, area that began on Tuesday. Odessa is also the scene of a recent mass-shooting incident that began after a highway patrol traffic stop. One person is dead and another maimed in a series of shootings that began in Odessa shortly after midnight on Tuesday. In two other shooting incidents, the shooter only struck the vehicles and the occupants sustained no physical injuries, according to CBS7. Late Friday afternoon, Sheriff Griffis announced they have a suspect in jug that they believe to be the shooter, KCBD NBC11 reported. "We cannot confirm it is the same individual (shooter), but we feel like it probably is," the sheriff stated. The shootings appear to have involved a person pulling up to a broken down vehicle on the side of the road, the local NBC affiliate reported. In a shooting Thursday night at about 10:30, official responding to a call found one man dead near an overpass on Interstate 20. A second man sustained injuries from gunfire after being shot in the abdomen during a shooting on Tuesday. CBS7 laid out the following timeline for the four shootings:
The alleged shooter appears to have used multiple handguns during the individual shootings. During the investigation, Sheriff Griffis said, "We are actively pursuing this individual, there are multiple agencies involved, there have been different weapons used and all appear to be from a handgun, but of different calibers. All of these incidents have been "roadside" related. We are asking the public to be "cautious" and if you see anything suspicious to call 911. WE WILL BRING HIM TO JUSTICE." |
