Investigation into Shooting at 7800 Amelia Road

Houston police are investigating the shooting of a man at 7800 Amelia Road about 11:55 p.m. on Sunday (May 5).

The victim, Emerson Parada, 28, was transported to an area hospital in an unknown condition.

HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Officers G. Black and A. Hernandez reported:

HPD patrol officers initially responded to a shooting call at 2001 Wirt Road and found a male (Mr. Parada) had been shot multiple times.

A preliminary investigation determined Parada was walking on the sidewalk near the above address when a dark-colored, four door vehicle, possibly a Honda, pulled up near him and unknown suspects fired shots from inside the vehicle.  Parada was struck and then ran to a convenience store in the 2000 block of Wirt Road where he collapsed.

Witnesses provided medical assistance to Parada and then moved him back to 7800 Amelia Road, where they called 9-1-1.  HFD paramedics transported him to the hospital.

The suspects in the vehicle are described only as two Hispanic males and two Hispanic females.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers are 713-222-TIPS.
