KPD Investigates Shooting on Goodhue Avenue

Killeen Police are investigating an afternoon shooting on Goodhue Drive.

Officers responded to the 1200 block of Goodhue Drive after receiving a 911 call telling them a female had been shot on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, at 2:19pm.    Officers arrived and found a female inside a silver Honda Accord, suffering from a gunshot wound.  The victim was transported to the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in critical condition and later airlifted to the Baylor Scott & White Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.  The officers were told the suspect had fled the area on foot and were given a description of him.  Officers remained in the area searching for the suspect when an officer located a male matching the description of the suspect in the 2000 block of Hinkle Ave.  Once the male saw the officer he began to run, officers gave chase and he was taken into custody at 2:26pm; he was transported to the Killeen City Jail.

The name of the victim will not be released at this time and the name of the male taken into custody will not be released until this case is reviewed by the Bell County District Attorney’s Office and formal charges are returned.

Detectives are continuing to investigate this case and information will be released as it becomes available.
