A Purcell man is charged in McClain County District Court with nine felonies stemming from a drive-by shooting.
An arrest warrant is outstanding for Edgar Ochoa-Aleman, 29.
The felony charges include five counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and four counts of use of vehicle in discharging a weapon.
According to an affidavit, Purcell police answered a suspicious person call to 1410 Whippoorwill Drive shortly before midnight October 15.
When police arrived, they found three adults and two children ages 6 months and 4 years in a vehicle with rear end damage and a shattered back window.
The occupants said they were pulling into Southway Mobile Home Park when their vehicle was rammed from behind by a yellow Dodge Ram pickup.
They reported the pickup began pushing their vehicle until it would no longer move.
They identified the pickup as belonging to Ochoa-Aleman and reported the suspect had a long-standing dispute with one of the men.
According to the affidavit, Ochoa-Aleman left the area, reportedly returning later to fire several shots into the vehicle.
On the morning of October 17, police went to the mobile home park where a resident reported a bullet hole in his van.
Police also located two more bullet holes in the mobile home.
Police obtained a search warrant for Ochoa-Aleman’s home and vehicles.
The warrant was executed by Purcell police, OSBI, the McClain County Sheriff’s Department and District 21 Task Force.
Authorities recovered a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol hidden under the hood of a vehicle parked next to the pickup. They also recovered spent shell casings.
Family members at the scene said Ochoa-Aleman may be in Piedras Negras, Mexico, or Oklahoma City, according to the affidavit.
