Investigators said the victim had been sitting in an SUV along with an individual sitting in the passenger seat. Surveillance footage showed that a Black male, possibly 6 feet tall, dressed in black and wearing what might be a black face mask, approached the driver’s side of the vehicle and fired off multiple rounds, striking the individual sitting in the driver’s seat at least twice, said Sgt. Joshua Horn with the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division.
Investigators believe the suspect fled the scene on foot and traveled southbound on Walnut Bend.
The victim was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
At this point in the investigation, robbery does not appear to be the motive in the shooting, said Horn.
Police urge anyone with information about the shooting or the people of interest to contact HPD’s homicide divison at 713-308-3600 or Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
