Houston police said they were called to what appears to be a property on Greens Bayou Street off I-10 just before 10 p.m. HPD Lt. Willkens said the area looked fairly open and only had what witnesses reported hearing.
“It appears to be a place where you would store vehicles, there are some storage-like sheds, storage containers in the back there but it’s fairly open, about an acre property, mostly grass fenced in,” he explained.

Witnesses reported hearing an argument before several gunshots were fired, followed by a pause and more gunshots. Police also found drugs, and cash at the scene. One man was found shot to death behind the property, while another gunshot victim was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

During the investigation, Lt. Willkens said two other gunshot victims took themselves to a nearby trauma center with gunshot wounds but are expected to be OK.
All four men appear to be in their 20s and no charges have been filed, as of this writing, but it’s unclear how everything unfolded.
