MARSHALL, Texas (KETK) – A 40-year-old Marshall man was arrested for murder over the weekend after a Saturday shooting left one dead.
According to police, around 9:30 p.m. emergency communications received a call about a shooting in the 800 block of Francis Street.
After arriving at the scene, officials said officers found a white car that witnesses reported to be occupied by the shooter, and Tramaine Dunn was arrested.
First responders and Good Samaritans at the scene rendered immediate medical assistance to the victim, identified as Russell Dale Crawford Shyne, 36, who was found with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Shyne was taken to the emergency room where he succumbed to his injuries.
