Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of one man and the wounding of another man at 3341 Winbern Street about 5:35 p.m. on Thursday (Feb. 25).
The identity of the deceased victim, 25, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. The second victim, 28, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.

A patrol officer heard several gunshots coming from a nearby location and drove to a convenience store at the above address where one man was found with apparent multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics transported the man to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Officers learned a second shooting victim was transported in a private vehicle to a hospital.
Evidence at the scene indicated a dark colored SUV pulled up alongside both male victims in the parking lot of the business. Two or more suspects exited the truck and then began firing shots at the two victims. The suspects returned to the SUV and fled the scene.
