I agree. Looks like it may have been cut down at some time with all that thicket of growth as the result. They tend to have lots of suckers even when full grown too.

definitely a crepe myrtle. They get really beautiful blooms later in the summer. I don't think there is a fragrance. Bees like them. Birds will nest in them. They are drought tolerant once established. They are not evergreen. They usually get a neat looking bark on them.
If you look closely, you will see seed pods that are definitely crepe myrtle. If you cut off the spent flowers, they will bloom again. One year I had three flushes on mine.
