TYLER — Tyler police are investigating an aggravated assault that sent a person to the hospital. Very early Sunday morning, officers were dispatched to the 600 block of South August Avenue. While en route, officers were notified that an individual had been shot inside his residence and was being transported to a hospital by private vehicle.
As officers reached the scene, they located the victim sitting in a vehicle stopped within the 600 block of South August Avenue. The victim, Dasha Webb, 22, had suffered several gunshot injuries and decided to wait for EMS to arrive on scene. EMS arrived moments later, and the victim was transported to East Texas Medical Center, where he was rushed into surgery.
It is believed the assailants entered the victim’s residence through the front door and fired several rounds, striking the victim. Major Crimes Detectives and CSI Investigators were notified and responded to the scene. Police reported later Sunday morning that the victim was out of surgery and in stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit of ETMC.
Anyone with information about the suspects involved in this crime is urged to contact the Tyler Police Department, at 903-531-1000, or Crimestoppers, at 903-597-CUFF (903-597-2833).
