Investigation into Fatal Shooting at 7300 Hershe Street

Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of a male at 7300 Hershe Street about 8:50 p.m. last Friday (February 28).

The victim is identified as Christopher Garcia, 15.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant C. Ponder and Detective J. Meister reported:

HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at the above address and found an unresponsive male with multiple gunshot wounds.  Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the male, later identified as Mr. Garcia, deceased.

A preliminary investigation and witness statements determined a black four-door sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Impala, drove by the location and shots were fired from inside the vehicle at the victim standing outside a vehicle parked on the street.  The sedan then fled westbound on Hershe Street.

The suspects are described only as three to four Hispanic males in their late teens.
