UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — An investigation is underway following a deadly shooting at a Snider Plaza gas station near Southern Methodist University Tuesday night, University Park police say.
Around 2 p.m. Wednesday, University Park detectives arrested a juvenile who they say is responsible for the killing of 39-year-old Marc Anthony Montes.
During a press conference Tuesday night, police said around 7 p.m. officers were called to the Shell gas station in the 7000 block of Snider Plaza after a man was reportedly shot.
Police said a witness at the scene began CPR on the victim until paramedics arrived on scene. The victim, 39-year-old Marc Anthony Montes, was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
"As for the circumstances surrounding the incident, the investigation is just underway – so far, we don’t know what prompted the shooting," police said in a statement. "Witnesses say the victim was apparently pushed out of the truck moments after witnesses heard the gunfire. "
Police said the suspect truck is believed to be a 2004 to 2006 champagne color F-150, equipped with running boards, bed cover and tinted windows.
Police released the following security camera photo, which shows the truck at the intersection of Lovers Lane and Westchester Drive.
Police said University Park hasn’t worked a homicide since 2005.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the University Park Police Department's non-emergency number 214-363-3000.
