The alleged shooter drove off in what appeared to be an older-model, light-colored Nissan car with damage to the driver’s side front quarter panel. The hood also appears to have been replaced, as it does not match the color of the rest of the car, authorities said.

The driver’s side tire is also missing a hub cap.

Anyone with information about the shooter or shooting is asked to contact HCSO at 956-383-8114. To remain anonymous, call the Hidalgo County Crime Stoppers hotline at 956-668-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip through the “P3 TIPS” app.
