One of two suspects in a shooting that left one man dead and caused a five-vehicle collision was arrested Friday night.

James Joseph Levron, 25, is charged with the murder of Jose Pompas Leal, 27. A second suspect has been identified and police are attempting to locate and apprehend him, Port Arthur Police Chief Patrick Melvin said. The name of the second suspect has not been released.

Levron told media he was not the shooter when being led to an awaiting patrol car following his arrest.

The incident began around 11:30 a.m. Thursday when police responded to a major collision with multiple vehicles involved at the intersection of Memorial Boulevard and 39^th Street. The driver who caused the collision had been involved in a prior incident somewhere between the 6900 block of Memorial Boulevard and the 39^th Street intersection and had been shot. He succumbed to his injuries and lost consciousness behind the wheel and continued into the intersection causing a “horrific” wreck, Melvin said.

Seven people were brought to the hospital and some suffered severe injuries.

Melvin said the use of technology and good old-fashioned police work led them to the suspects.

The chief did not elaborate on a possible motive.
