The fatal shooting of a male that occurred at 7455 Cook Road about 10:30 p.m. on Monday (October 16) will be referred to a Harris County grand jury.
The identity of the victim is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
HPD Homicide Division Sergeant K. Persad and Detective L. Gonzales reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at a townhouse at the above address and as they arrived an unknown male entered the residence. As they approached they found the victim lying near the front entry and sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers then entered the townhome to locate any additional persons.
