MANSFIELD — Mansfield Police are investigating the city’s second murder in less than a week.
An individual was shot to death at a Dunbilt Court address on Sunday night, according to a press release issued Monday morning by Mansfield Police chief Keith Porch.

According to authorities, on Sunday at about 6:52 pm, a shot spotter activation alerted officers to 10 gunshots in the area of 20 Dunbilt Court. Officers responded and located a victim at the rear of 8 Dunbilt Court who had sustained gunshot wounds.
“It appears the shooting took place in front of 19 Dunbilt Court and the victim had fled behind the residence at 8 Dunbilt Court,” Porch stated in the release.
