On June 3, 2024, at approximately 7:30 pm, Irving Police officers responded to reports of a shooting at a Wingstop located in the 960 block of E Irving Blvd (near Nursery Rd.).
Upon arrival, they discovered one male victim deceased and one male victim injured. The second shooting victim was transported to a local hospital where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Prior to the officer's arrival, the suspect, Marc Anthony Leon, 22 years of age, had fled on foot. Patrol officers located the suspect within 10 minutes of the incident and took him into custody. A firearm was also recovered.
Initial investigations suggest that an argument between Leon, an employee at the Wingstop, and the deceased victim, who was also an employee there, escalated.
The deceased told Leon to leave the locating, at which time Leon presented a firearm and shot the victim multiple times. A second employee was also caught in the crossfire and injured by stray bullets.
