Minutes later, the truck had made its way to Port Isabel and Cameron County deputies and Texas Dept. of Public Safety troopers chased them, the DA said. Around 10:30 p.m. that evening, the two suspects were found traveling in a black Ford Expedition and they led authorities on another chase. “From the information we have, two rounds struck Lt.
