Authorities in Irving, Texas, are currently on the lookout for a homicide suspect following a shooting incident at a Chick-fil-A restaurant that resulted in the deaths of two individuals. The suspect, identified as Bernardo Mendoza Argueta, 37, is believed to have shot two people at the location on North MacArthur Blvd in Irving.
