KILLEEN, Texas — An argument led to a man being shot Friday in Killeen and flown to a hospital in critical condition, police said.
Several streets were closed after police were called for reports of the shooting around noon in the 2300 block of Botanical Drive. Officers found a 30-year-old man lying in the road with a gunshot wound.
He was flown to Baylor Scott and White and taken into surgery.
Investigators said the victim and Jeffrie Sterling Lane Jr., 27, got into an argument when shots were fired.
Witnesses told police the suspected shooter ran and may have barricaded himself inside an apartment. Nearby homes were evacuated but Lane was not found after the SWAT team did a search.
Detectives received information on Saturday that Lane was in the Austin area, where he was found and arrested.
Lane is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was taken to Killeen City Jail. Lane's bond is set at $200,000.
