LUFKIN, Texas — Lufkin Police have arrested a second suspect in connection to Sunday morning's fatal shooting.
According to Lufkin police, through the course of their investigation, they identified Deedrick Renfro, 23, of Lufkin as the shooter in the death of 19-year-old Elvin Alday. Renfro will be taken to the Angelina County Jail.
Officials say around 2 p.m., Thursday, detectives spotted Renfro as the passenger in a black, Chrysler 300. While they were working to confirm that information, the driver of the car, later identified as Felipe Rivera Jr., 25, of Lufkin, ran a red light at the intersection of Ellen Trout Drive and U.S. 69 north. This caused a three-vehicle accident involving Rivera's car, an 18-wheeler and a pickup truck.
Renfro attempted to run away from the scene but was taken into custody.
The driver of the pickup was checked out at a local hospital and released. No other injuries were reported.
Additional charges for Renfro are pending. The crash remains under investigation.
