Conner is charged with Manslaughter because police said this appears to be an accidental shooting.

The investigation is ongoing as the Lewisville Police Department is still searching for the suspects in the Chrysler who took off from the scene.

ORIGINAL STORY:

A 15-year-old boy has been identified as the victim in Thursday’s fatal shooting in Lewisville.

Around 2 p.m. in the 200 block of East Round Grove Road, serval male subjects in two vehicles got into an altercation in the parking lot behind the Popeye’s restaurant. Words were exchanged, and two subjects fired shots at each other before both vehicles fled the scene.

Police located one car, a black Porsche, with two male subjects inside at a nearby apartment complex. One of them died from a gunshot wound to the stomach, according to LPD, and the second subject was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand that is not believed to be life-threatening.

The victim who died has been identified as Lamarcus Dewayne Winn, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office. He was not a Lewisville ISD student, according to police.

Police said Friday that they are still looking for the second vehicle, which witnesses described as a Chrysler (model unknown), and no motive has been determined yet.

“There is no threat to the community as it appears the group of men were acquaintances and this was a meet-up spot,” the LPD spokesman said.

LPD said there is no connection between this shooting and the Sept. 20 shooting outside a Raising Canes restaurant that left a 17-year-old student dead.
