COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A late-night shooting investigation in College Station has ended with a suspect in custody thanks to the assistance of the Killeen Police Department.
After 10 p.m. Thursday night, College Station Police went to investigate a shooting in the 2000 block of Colgate Drive. The suspect, Michael Epperson, 19, was wanted after the shooting investigation turned into a homicide investigation. He reportedly left the victim's home in a 2017 red Nissan Sentra with black rims and a Texas Longhorns sticker on the back window.
Authorities cautioned anyone that spotted Epperson to not approach, as he was considered armed and dangerous.
