Police are also looking for Black, who is wanted on murder charges in connection with the death of Eric Ontario Smith Jr., 19, after Smith was shot in the back of the head Sunday morning outside Paradise Club, 714 N. Fillmore St., police said.

Witnesses told police Black approached Smith in the parking lot and fired a gun at Ontario, police said, and then fled the scene before officers arrived.

Smith was taken by private car to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.

Black is well connected in Amarillo and outside the area, Riddlespurger said. He could still be in the city, but has family connections in his hometown of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and to Lubbock and California, police said.

Despite checking multiple locations night and day, authorities have been unable to locate him, Riddlespurger said.
