Rowlett officers said they are searching for a teen suspect who allegedly shot a 15-year-old in the head during a transaction in a business parking lot earlier this month.

The Rowlett Police Department said 17-year-old Xavier Sen'cer Stevenson is wanted for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

The incident happened just before 3:40 p.m. on Friday, June 13, when Stevenson and the teen victim, along with the victim's brother, met to sell items, police said.

At one point, Stevenson allegedly shot the 15-year-old male in the head and then took off from the scene, according to Rowlett PD's preliminary report.

Officers responded, secured the area and began a search as emergency personnel aided the victim, who was transported to a hospital by the Rowlett Fire Department. At this time, the 15-year-old's condition has not been released.

During the investigation, police discovered the suspect was captured on surveillance video entering a nearby store prior to the shooting.

Stevenson is described as a Black man, with dark hair and dark eyes. He is approximately 5'09" tall and weighs about 130 pounds.
