MCKINNEY, Texas – Two people are dead, and two others are in jail after a shootout in eastern McKinney that led to a police chase.
The shooting happened Wednesday afternoon at an apartment complex near Logan and McDonald Street.
Witnesses say a 19-year-old McKinney man was in a shootout with a 20-year-old passenger in a pickup truck.
That truck drove away and dropped off the 20-year-old passenger and a second passenger, 18-year-old Christopher Perez, at a nearby hospital.
Police say the driver, 21-year-old Josue Mejia, led officers on a chase into Richardson. He got out and ran before being arrested.
Perez was arrested at the hospital.
The 19-year-old and 20-year-old both died at the hospital. Neither have been identified.
Both Mejia and Perez are charged with murder.
It’s unclear what roles both men played in the shooting.
A motive remains unknown.
