Gun stolen in Hope recovered at Texarkana homicide scene

Officers were called to an apartment in the 1000 block of College Drive about 1:30 this morning. When they got there, they found the deceased victim inside an apartment. A 16-year-old juvenile was arrested by officers and transported to the juvenile detention facility. Police believe that the two boys were friends. The gun that we recovered at the scene had previously been reported stolen in Hope, Arkansas.

“The incident is still under investigation, and there are still a lot of questions about exactly what happened. However, regardless of the circumstances, the end result is both senseless and incredibly tragic,” the department said in a statement.
