Officers throughout Jasper and Newton Counties are searching for two suspects following an apparent murder that took place at the Gateway Motel in Kirbyville on Sunday afternoon.

Police were called to the motel, located on Highway 96, shortly after 3:00, when it was reported that shots had been fired leaving an unidentified male dead.

Chief Deputy Ralph Nichols said two suspects that were only described as black males wearing hooded sweatshirts were last seen headed south on Highway 96 in a gold colored sport utility vehicle. However, the make or model of the vehicle was unknown.

Nichols and others are advising that the men are to be considered armed and dangerous and that everyone in the area should lock their doors and make sure that the keys are not left in vehicles.

Officers fear that the suspects might try to swap vehicles.

Bluntman you sir are a racist and a bigot. This kind of hateful rhetoric is exactly why people have a negative view of the people from the south. People of all races and socioeconomic status commit crimes everyday. Singling out one particular ethnicity is perposterous and you should be ashamed of yourself. This is The United States of America where everyone is created equal regardless of race, age, gender, social standing, or sexual orientation. What happened is extremely terrible and justice should be served to whomever committed the murder, but we cannot stand as human beings to tolerate this sort of inflammatory speech.

i hope they catch these guys! so sad..especially during the holidays.

not a single comment on this story relates to the deceased..ya know, the murder victim. this entire thread is regarding ignorant stereotypes.

elsik, learn how to spell/speak and present yourself in an intelligent way.

donewithit, that's a lovely assumption you have there. I'm pretty certain my skin is BLACK and i have no food stamps on "your" dollar. I do however have a master's degree on MY dollar.

Yes its a little overrated, but don't judge a book by it's cover.
