TEXARKANA, Texas — The Texarkana Police Department is searching for a teen accused of shooting two men to death in December.
Kevonte Collins, who was 16 years old at the time of the shooting, is wanted on a capital murder charge in connection with the deaths of Deangelo Handy and Rickalon Young during a shooting at the Oaks at Rosehill Apartments.
A 17-year-old was also shot several times, but he is expected to survive, police said.
A district judge issued an order Thursday to release the identity of Collins after previously not being allowed because he was a juvenile at the time.
Police have been looking for Collins since a warrant was issued for his arrest a few days after the shooting. TPD said Friday officers now know he immediately fled to another city and he might be hiding out in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex.
Collins was reportedly seen there a few times in the last couple of weeks, according to police.
Those who have any idea on where to find Collins can call Texarkana Police Department at 903-798-3116. Texarkana Area Crime Stoppers will pay a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to his arrest. People can make anonymous calls at 903-793-STOP.
