Mesquite Police Respond to Shooting

Mesquite Police are searching for clues and answers in an early morning shooting.

Officers were called to a group fight that turned into a shooting at the Peachtree Apartments, in the 1400 block of South Peachtree Road, early Tuesday morning.

Investigators say at least one person was shot and rushed to the hospital.

Detectives focused part of their investigation on a Ford SUV in the apartment complex parking lot. Police are not saying who owns the SUV or whether it may belong to a victim or the shooter.
