The Edinburg Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for a man suspected of being involved in a shooting involving a 14-year-old girl, according to a city news release.
In an update Thursday afternoon, police said an arrest warrant has been issued for 23-year-old Isaac Medrano, of Edinburg.
In a previous news release, authorities said the shooting occurred shortly after 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning in the 2100 block of Carlos Street. Once officers arrived at the scene, they found the 14-year-old had been shot in the lower back. EMS immediately transported her to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
An investigation revealed that the victim’s boyfriend was on location when two suspects arrived. Police said at least one of them was known to the victim.
A verbal altercation ensued, which resulted in the two suspects leaving the scene temporarily, police said. One of the suspects, later identified as Medrano, retrieved a handgun and allegedly fired shots at the victim’s front door which struck the teenage girl twice.
This remains an active investigation.
The Edinburg police department encourages anyone with information regarding this investigation to come forward by contacting Edinburg police at (956) 289-7700, or anonymously through Edinburg Crime Stoppers at (956) 383-8477.
