HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at the above address and found a male, unresponsive, in a crashed vehicle a few blocks from the location. Houston Fire Department paramedics transported the male to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
A preliminary investigation indicated the shooter was sitting in his vehicle when he was approached by another male, who initiated a physical altercation. At that time, the male in the vehicle fired several shots and struck the male. The shooter then exited his vehicle and called 9-1-1. The wounded male got into the shooter’s vehicle, fled the scene and crashed a few blocks away from the location.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was consulted and the case will be reviewed by a Harris County grand jury.
