Police are searching for a 20-year-old man after issuing an arrest warrant for him in the death of a mother caught in gang crossfire last week while at East Texas park with her 3-year-old son.

Tyler police said Friday that an arrest warrant for murder has been issued for Rakheem Goldstein of Tyler. A judge has set his bond at $1 million.

Twenty-year-old Briana Raquel Young of Tyler was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot July 30. Her son was not hurt in the gunfire at P.T. Cole Park.

Police have said about 30 people were in the park when the shooting started. Police, who were told that gunfire erupted from within the park and from a nearby vehicle, are still searching for additional suspects.
