Witnesses told officers what the suspect looked like and the direction that he ran.

A K9 unit was brought in and led officers to a suspect several blocks away from the scene. 

"He was hiding several blocks away at a different apartment complex," said Matt Pesta, Public Information Office for Garland Police.

The 16-year-old is a student of Sachse High School. The suspect was charged with murder.

The teen is being held in the Dallas County Juvenile Detention Center.

The name and identity of the suspect has not been released.

Police believe this was not a random act of violence, but they say they are still investigating the circumstances.

"On the surface it appears they knew they were going to meet at that location," said Pesta.

Investigators were able to get surveillance video from the apartment complex.

They plan to search the suspect's cellphone as well.

"We’re going to figure out what platform they were communicating on and get a warrant for that. And that could take several weeks for us to be able to definitely say, this is why they met, this is what they talked about," Pesta explained. 

The K9 Unit also found crucial evidence at the scene, but police would not specify if the evidence was a firearm.

They say the charges could change as the investigation unfolds.

Police are not looking for any other suspects.

If anyone has information regarding this shooting, they are urged to call Garland Police at 972-485-4840.
