Fatal Gang-Related Shooting on Segrest Street in Corpus Christi, TX

One dead and three children injured in an afternoon shooting on the 2600 block of Segrest Street on Friday, July 25, 2008.

Police were called to the scene at 1:21 p.m. Police believe several vehicles pulled up and opened fire on a house on Segrest. Police found more than 80 shell casings from various caliber weapons on the street.

"There is no doubt this was a planned attack," Police Chief Bryan Smith said.

Danny Villarreal was pronounced dead at the hospital and a 40-year-old man was shot in the chest and is also in critical condition. It is unclear if he was a victim or one of the shooters.

Three children, a one-year-old, two-year-old and five-year-old, were hospitalized with what police believe were shotgun pellet wounds. Police said the five-year-old was in critical condition and has been upgraded to serious. All three are expected to survive, at least two were Villarreal's children.
