Tyler, Texas Police Find Two Shot to Death at Local Hotel, Searching for Answers
It was close to 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday night when Tyler, Texas Police received several calls regarding a shooting at the LaQuinta Inn located at 6702 S. Broadway, according to an official press release from Tyler Police Department's Public Information Officer, Andy Erbaugh.
When officers arrived on the scene, they investigated a vehicle in the La Quinta Inn & Suites parking lot in which they discovered two deceased people who'd been shot multiple times.
"They are described as a Hispanic male and Hispanic female," according to a police report.
Witnesses told police they'd noticed a person fleeing the scene before they arrived.
Investigators found a possible suspect at a Smith County residence who was discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
