HPD patrol officers responded to a person down call at the above address and found an unresponsive male with gunshot wounds.  Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the male deceased.

As officers conducted a preliminary investigation, they received a call from a nearby hospital regarding the arrival of a male victim with gunshot wounds.  Doctors later pronounced him deceased.
