HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Officers S. Ragsdale and A. Graf reported:
The victim got into a verbal altercation with friends which led to him being kicked out of the house. The incident escalated further and the victim was shot. He was then put in the bed of a pickup truck and taken to a different location.
A male victim matching the description of the male placed in the pickup truck was found later in the evening in a drainage ditch at the above address.
