AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — Amarillo police have released photos of the suspect and suspect vehicle involved in a homicide that happened in the Eastridge neighborhood Wednesday evening.

Police said 30-year-old Jamor Durrell Lee was beaten to death by at least two men at the Eastridge School Park. When officers arrived on the scene just after 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, they found citizens providing first aid to Lee. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.

APD said the Special Crimes Unit was called to investigate the murder. Witnesses reported that two Burmese men assaulted Lee and left the scene in what is believed to be a red four-door Ford SUV. That vehicle was last seen heading southbound on Gardenia Street.

Police said they are releasing a photo of one of the suspects in hopes that he will be identified.

An autopsy has been scheduled for the morning of Friday, Sept. 29, in Lubbock.

In 2015, there were a total of 10 homicides in Amarillo, according to police. So far this year, there have been 11 homicides in Amarillo.
