LONGVIEW, Texas — The Longview Police Department is searching in the White Oak area for a man accused of fatally shooting two men in Longview.
Longview police spokesperson Brandon Thornton confirmed officers are searching for Jared Scott Sobey, 37, who is accused of shooting and killing Todd Monroe Brown, 53, and Kevin Mitchell Gonzales, 34, both of Longview, at an apartment complex near the White Oak Police Department.
Police say Sobey killed Brown and Gonzales near Fisher Rd., around 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday, and left the scene in a pickup truck that was later found in a wooded area off Bacle Rd.
According to Texas Department of Motor Vehicle records, the truck belonged to Brown.
CBS19's Jose Alonzo spoke with residents who live around the area where the shooting took place.
"I normally hear ambulances going by or sirens, you know, police chases," Beverly Knapp said. "I didn't hear anything yesterday. I guess I must have missed all the excitement."
Several other neighbors said they didn’t hear anything at all and only those who were driving home saw the aftermath of the shooting.
"We are still actively looking for the suspect in this investigation," Thornton said. "Unfortunately, that's about where we're at right now. Our detectives and officers are busy out there looking for the suspect."
Several people who live in the neighborhood said nothing like this usually happens here, and they hope Sobey is caught soon.
"I hope they do, and put him where he needs to go," Knapp said. "Because you know, he could’ve been endangering anybody around here."
CBS19 has a crew at the scene and will update this article as more information becomes available.
