GROVES, Texas — Police in Groves are investigating the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man late Thursday night at the McDonald's on the city's south side.
Alfonso Solomon, 19, was killed in the shooting which happened at about 11 p.m. at the McDonald's on Twin City Highway in Groves just north of Texas 73 according to Groves City Marshal Norman Reynolds Friday morning.
Police are looking for two men in their early 20s who were seen driving a red 2019 Dodge Journey with paper tags reading 35916P who are suspects in the fatal shooting.
Investigators say that the killing was not a random act and believe that Solomon knew his killers.
Solomon's grandmother works at the McDonald's Reynolds told 12News Friday afternoon.
Reynolds also said they believe they know who owns the 2019 Dodge Journey but are not releasing a name at this time.
Solomon was reported to have been transported to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont.
Groves Police officers as well as officers from Port Arthur responded to the shooting which happened near the border of the two cities.
Police have not yet released much information on the shooting including possible suspects or what may have led to the shooting.
A McDonald's representative released this statement to 12News Friday evening.
"Our heartfelt condolences are with the families of all involved in this tragic incident. We are cooperating with the authorities during their investigation."
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
