Man shot to death at 10th Street and Nolana

McALLEN — A man was gunned down about 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Northcross Shopping Center at the intersection of North 10th Street and Nolana.

McAllen police officials apprehended four suspects as they were trying to cross into Mexico just after the incident. All four are Mexican nationals.

The victim, who police believe is about 24 years old, died from multiple gunshot wounds. Officials can’t confirm if the shooting was drug-related, Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said.

“They had agreed to meet in that shopping center for some reason,” he said. “We believe they knew each other and some of them may be related.”

Jessica Encinia, 18, of Edinburg, was working at Buffalo Wild Wings in the shopping center at 4005 N. 10th St. when the shots rang out.

“We didn’t hear them when they went off,” she said. “But an officer came in and told us not to let anybody in or out of our restaurant and we — the workers — kind of started freaking out.”
She needed an escort walking to her car later that night.

“With this being right next to my job and all,” she said, “it doesn’t make me feel safe.”
