Rockdale Police are searching for a 16-year-old shooting suspect

ROCKDALE, Texas (KXXV) — The Rockdale Police Department is searching for a 16-year-old shooting suspect after two victims were found with gunshot wounds in a neighborhood Saturday night.

The Rockdale Police Department said officers responded to the first call of shots fired around 7:23 p.m. at a home in the 400 block of East 4th Street, where they found a victim, 20-year-old Trevor Everage, with multiple gunshot wounds.

Officers then found a second victim, Christopher Flores, 22, in the 200 block of 4th Street with multiple gunshot wounds.

Both shooting victims were taken to Rockdale Airport to be airlifted to Scott & White Medical Center in Temple, but Flores succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the airport.

The initial investigation found the shooting was targeted and related to an attempted robbery, according to a statement released by the Rockdale Police Department.

Arrest warrants have been issued for the 16-year-old juvenile suspect for capital murder, a capital felony, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a second-degree felony.

Due to the suspect’s age, his name is not being released at this time.

The Milam County Sheriff’s Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Parks and Wildlife and Milam County Police 4 are assisting in the investigation.
