ORIGINAL STORY:
The Waco Police Department is investigating after a 21-year-old was shot to death, possibly during a robbery attempt.
Around 7:40 a.m. on September 25, officers were called to the 300 block of Wagon Wheel regarding a potential suicide of a resident in the home.
When officers arrived, they determined something else had happened. The investigation turned from a suicide investigation to a murder investigation.
Investigators with the Waco PD Special Crimes Unit determined a 21-year-old man had been shot in the bedroom of the home. He had a single gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Further evidence found that the shooting possibly stemmed from a robbery attempt.
Investigators believe this was no random act of violence and that the house was specifically targeted by the suspect. This is the second shooting attempt at the home in the last month. The first occurred on August 25.
During the August shooting, the suspects targeted the wrong home and shot at a neighboring house.
At this time there is no other information available. Police say this is a very active and ongoing investigation.
