The Amarillo Police Department is actively searching for a suspect after a security guard was shot Saturday night.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 700 N. Fillmore Street. According to police, witnesses said a man opened fire with what appeared to be an AR-style rifle, allegedly aiming at a woman. Instead, a security guard was struck during the incident.
The security guard was taken to a local hospital and is currently in stable condition, officials said.
The suspect has been identified as 41-year-old Carlos Videna. Police say he fled the scene in a white sedan and remains at large. As of Sunday morning, neither Videna nor the woman he was reportedly targeting has been found.
