Temple Police Release Video of Shooting Incident, Ask for Help

The Temple Police Department is asking the public for information regarding a shots-fired incident from back in April. They've even released video hoping someone can help them solve this case.

According to a Temple Police Department news release, the incident happened on April 26th in the 1800 block of E. Avenue K and involved several juveniles and young adults. TPD officers responded to the disturbance call around 1am and found shell casings along with damage to buildings and vehicles, but don't have much else to go on.

Police Chief Shawn Reynolds said, “Thankfully in this incident no one was seriously injured or killed. The level of violent crime we are dealing with is increasing and we can’t be everywhere and see everything. We need our community to call when they see something suspicious and to cooperate with our investigators as we work together to reduce and solve crime in our neighborhoods.”
