Two men are dead and two others are in custody and charged with murder after a shooting at a McKinney apartment complex Wednesday.
According to the McKinney Police Department, officers were called to a shooting at an apartment complex on the 3300 block of North McDonald Street just after 8 p.m.
Witnesses told police they saw a man approach the passenger of a Dodge pickup truck parked at the complex. Two men were injured in a firefight.
The driver of the Dodge truck took his injured passenger, a 20-year-old Princeton man, to Medical City McKinney. The 19-year-old McKinney man who approached the truck was given first aid before being transported by paramedics to Medical City McKinney.
The two injured men later died of their injuries. Their names have not yet been released.
A McKinney officer stationed at the hospital identified the pickup leaving the hospital and followed the driver. The driver refused to stop for police and a chase ensued that ended in Richardson. According to police, the driver left the truck and tried to escape on foot but was caught by police.
The 21-year-old driver of the pickup and an 18-year-old man who was in the hospital were both arrested and police said both have been charged with murder in connection with the deaths of the two men.
Police said investigators are still actively trying to determine the motive and everyone's role in the double homicide.
