The Lewisville Police Department reported that at roughly 8:26 PM on Tuesday, officers were dispatched after reports of gunfire at the 1600 block of South State Highway 121 Business. Upon their arrival, they discovered a 21-year-old male with multiple gunshot wounds sitting in the driver's seat of a parked vehicle.
