A 19-year-old man is in the Donley County Jail after he allegedly shot a 17-year-old woman Sunday night, May 21.
Sheriff Butch Blackburn said Kade Allen Flowers of Amarillo is facing two felony charges – Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Tampering with Evidence – after the shooting. The woman was still in ICU in Amarillo as of noon Monday.
Blackburn said his office received a 911 call Sunday night of a lady at 7th and Taylor streets who had been shot. A deputy arrived quickly and found the woman on the ground with a gunshot wound in the back next to a blue Honda Civic.
EMS with the Associated Ambulance Authority arrived and transported the woman to Northwest Texas Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery.
After detaining and questioning Flowers, who was on the scene when emergency personnel arrived, a search of the area turned up a .380 semi-automatic pistol, which had been hidden by the suspect. Flowers was then arrested and booked into jail.
Blackburn said the case is still under investigation at this time.
