Officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Ouida Street in Irving on Sunday regarding a disturbance.

Upon arrival, officers located a male victim in a driveway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and attempted to perform life-saving measures, police said in the release. The suspect fled the area before officers arrived and was not located, according to police.

Medics also responded to the scene and pronounced the victim dead from his injuries.

The suspect vehicle has a large sticker on the top left corner of the back window that reads “#Todas Mienten”, several small stickers on the trunk, and pink scratch mark stickers over the headlights.

Anyone with information about Amador Godoy’s whereabouts is asked to call their local police department.
