The DPS says in a news release the bust occurred in the 700 block of N. Pitcher Street around 2 p.m. Friday. And Public Safety credited community support and information received through Silent Observer for helping with the quick identification and arrest.
Around 1:30 p.m. on May 29, police responded to a report of gunshots being fired on E. Main Street. While there, they learned that a gunshot victim had showed up at a hospital.
