According to an update provided by the Lewisville Police Department via social media, detectives are actively investigating the suspect's involvement along with the potential existence of additional suspects connected to the case.

The male suspect, now in custody, sustained injuries following the incident, leading to public speculation that he may have been hurt during the arrest by the Lewisville Police Department.
