The crime

Shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday, March 13, two men leaving the Driftwood Lounge in the 1200 block of East MacArthur were approached by two armed strangers who demanded money. The first victim was shot in the left elbow and, after a brief scuffle with one of the suspects, was shot a second time on his right side. He ran back inside the lounge. As the second victim ran toward the lounge, he was shot several times in his legs.

Both suspects are white, about 6 feet tall and have slender builds. They were last seen running toward a nearby mobile home park.

The first suspect is about 25 years old and was wearing a black hoodie and dark jeans and had no facial hair. The other suspect is about 30 and was wearing a brown multi-colored hoodie, blue jeans and a brown hat.
