A teenage college baseball player required emergency surgery at hospital but is in a stable condition after being shot and wounded while playing in a Red River Athletic Conference game for Texas A&M-Texarkana against Houston-Victoria.
The damage was done by a stray bullet that struck the unidentified 18-year-old in the chest while sitting in the bullpen area at George Dobson Field in Texarkana. The city’s police department added that Demarco Banks, 20, who they suspect was involved in an altercation with Kamauri Butler, 17, that saw firearms discharged, turned himself in to the force on Monday morning.
Butler remains unaccounted for and is sought for aggravated assault following the incident. Police were called to the ballpark around 5:30pm.
