Pleasant Grove Gas Station Shooting
What's new:
Police said 26-year-old Richard Rivera is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Rivera was already in the Dallas County jail for unrelated charges.
The backstory:
Video shows two men entering the Texaco gas station near Lake June Road and Temple Cliff around 2 a.m. on March 15.
Police said they bought several items and had conversations with people before lingering on the property.
A few minutes later, video shows the two men walking back toward their truck. The man in the red hoodie pulls out a weapon and fires one round in the air.
A victim in another pickup truck heard the gunfire and drew his own weapon.
Police said as the suspects were driving off, the man in the black shirt fired additional shots at the victim's truck, striking him in the neck.
The victim survived the shooting.

Police are still looking for the suspect who was wearing a black shirt.
