Houston police have released surveillance photos of two suspects wanted in the fatal shooting of a man at 12100 Overbrook Lane about 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday (Oct. 1).
Photos of the suspects, described as black males, 18 to 25 years of age, are attached to this news release. One suspect had brown and black locks and was wearing a gray hoodie and shorts. The other suspect had black locks and was wearing a black shirt and black pants.
The identity of the victim, 46, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
HPD Homicide Division Detectives H. Montealegre-Cerrato and G. Rangel reported:
Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at the above address and observed an unresponsive male on a sidewalk. He had suffered gunshot wounds. Paramedics pronounced the man deceased at the scene.
Investigators learned the male was advised of a shoplifting incident and located the theft suspect seated alongside another suspect. The male confronted the suspects and an altercation ensued. It escalated when the male used pepper spray on the suspects and then ran after the suspects down a sidewalk. At some point, the two suspects fired shots at the male and then fled the scene on foot.
Anyone with information on the identities of the two suspects is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
