A Floydada man is dead and another injured after a weekend shooting, the first murder in the town since 1984. Police are still searching for the suspect, 26-year-old Daniel Herrera. Floydada Chief of Police Darrell Gooch tells us that around two Saturday morning, several men were drinking outside Serapio Ovalle's home in Floydada. A fight then broke out and Gooch says Herrera left and came back with a gun firing several rounds.
