Three men have been arrested for the February shooting of two 17-year-olds in DeSoto who drove to a Dallas gas station to call for help, DeSoto police said.
Police arrested Vito Disce Green, 18, Roosevelt Jerome King, 19, and Malik Jackson, 24, on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. All three are DeSoto residents.
Green was arrested at his home Friday without incident, police said. King was booked into jail April 8 and has a total bail of $200,000. Jackson was booked into jail March 4 and is being held without bail.
The teens, a Dallas boy and a Garland girl, were shot about 9 p.m. Feb. 26 in the 1400 block of Deborah Avenue, near North Hampton Road, police said. The two drove across the city line to a Dallas gas station where the girl called 911 to report that she and her boyfriend had been shot, police said.
The teens were taken to a Dallas hospital, and police said the boy was in critical condition and the girl was stable the following day. DeSoto police provided first aid and placed a chest seal on the boy’s wound, which possibly led to his survival, police Lt. Chris Huerta said.
Police did not release the teens’ names.
