Shootout in the middle of a La Marque street leaves one dead
LA MARQUE, Texas (KTRK) -- One person is dead, another injured after a shootout in La Marque.
Family members tell Eyewitness News that 23-year-old Rodney Stoll Jr. went to Richards Court off of FM 1765 around midnight last night and got into a confrontation with someone.
A friend of the victim, who lives on the street, told ABC13 there was an altercation shortly after Stoll drove into the cul-de-sac and that the shooting happened soon after.
Police said shots were exchanged between the two men in the middle of the street.
"I don't know what happened, I don't know, I know that there was a shooting and all I want are answers," said the victim's mother Sherie Lawrence.
Stoll's family said he was a father of two and didn't have any enemies.
"He was very popular, he loved his kids, his family, and he was just well liked, and just trying to be a good father, trying to raise his daughter and his son," said Sharon Stoll, Stoll's aunt.
The other victim has not been identified.
Investigators said he was taken to the Hospital of the Mainland and then taken by Life Flight to Houston with what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the face. He is expected to survive.
