POLICE: 2 arrested, 2 on the loose after East Texas man gunned down while answering knock at door

The investigation is ongoing.

LUFKIN, Texas — Two people have been arrested and two others are wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a Lufkin man in early April.

Richard Charles Coutee, 48, was shot around 11:15 p.m. Monday, April 3, in the 1100 block of Mayberry St. when he came to the door after hearing the knock, police said. 

"Family members who were in another room at the time immediately called 911," police said. "They told officers they did not see or hear the suspect."

Two juveniles have already been arrested in connection with the shooting and two others are wanted.
