A stray bullet struck a Texas college baseball player who was in the middle of a game on Saturday.

The shooting happened at a game between Texas A&M University-Texarkana and the University of Houston-Victoria, the Texarkana Texas Police Department said in a statement.

Police have issued warrants for Demarco Banks, 20, and a juvenile, who are believed to be suspects in the shooting, the statement says.

The victim, who police have yet to identify, is an 18-year-old on the Texas A&M-Texarkana baseball team. He was standing in the bullpen when a stray bullet struck him at about 5:30 p.m., police said. The man was in stable condition as of Sunday, according to police.

Police say they are still investigating, but they believe the stray bullet came from "some type of altercation" in a nearby neighborhood west of the baseball field.

"We initially received several calls of shots fired on Lynda Street, which is in a neighborhood just west of Spring Lake Park," police said in a news release. "Moments later, we received a 911 call that a baseball player at the park had collapsed and may have been shot. We were able to almost immediately determine that the two incidents were related."

The university said counseling services are available to the athletes and other students in a statement following the shooting.

According to police, Banks and the other juvenile suspect got into an argument in front of a house and started shooting at each other. Both men fled before the police arrived.

When police arrived at the scene of the argument, officers arrested and charged Yankeengea Smith, 49, on gun and drug charges, Nathan Moore, 19, for tampering with evidence and marijuana possession, and Marcell Beaver, 19, also for marijuana possession.

Texas A&M University-Texarkana did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Monday.
