TEXARKANA, Texas — Two people have been arrested and a 16-year-old is dead following a Tuesday night shooting in Texarkana.
According to the Texarkana Police Department, police responded to reports of a fatal shooting around 9:15 p.m. near the intersection of Westlawn Drive and Meadowbrook Lane.
When officers arrived on scene, they found Nytorius Crabtree lying in the street with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say they learned an altercation occurred between Bosnia Taylor, 21, of Texarkana, Arkansas, and another woman earlier in the evening. Police say Bosnia Taylor then sent messages on social media saying she wanted to fight again.
"Shortly after, she [Bosnia Taylor] arrived on Meadowbrook with seven other people, including [her brother] Demarious Taylor," police said in a statement. "Witnesses said that a fight ensued between the two groups and, at some point, Bosnia Taylor told Demarious Taylor to 'shoot him.' Demarious Taylor then produced a pistol and fired at [Nytorius] Crabtree, striking him once in the chest. The group fled the scene in their two vehicles."
According to the TTPD, Demarious Taylor, 20, of Ashdown, Arkansas, and his sister, Bosnia Taylor were both charged with murder. They were booked into the Bi-State Jail on $1 million bond each.
