Police Seek Two Suspects After Amarillo Apartment Shooting Kills Two Teens, Injures 10

Investigators say the gunfire targeted an apartment linked to the suspects.

Overview

  • Police say two teenagers were killed and 10 others wounded when gunfire erupted at the Westminster Apartments in Amarillo early Saturday around 2 a.m., including 17-year-old Ezekiel Rudy Almazan.
  • Detectives believe the shooters aimed at a specific unit because the suspects were known to an occupant at the party.
  • Surveillance video released by police shows two people firing outside the apartment, and residents are urged to check doorbell or security footage from that time.
  • Witnesses heard rapid bursts that sounded like machine-gun fire, and investigators say a rifle-style weapon and possibly other firearms were used.
  • No arrests have been announced, and the investigation continues as Amarillo police press for tips following a recent surge in city homicides.
