A second male, 19, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to an area hospital.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting at the above address and found one male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Responding Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the male deceased at the scene. A second male had been transported to an area hospital by private vehicle.
Further investigation and evidence from the scene indicated the two males arrived at the location and the two suspects appeared to be waiting for them. Once the males arrived, one of the suspects and the two victims began fighting. As the three engaged in a physical altercation, the second suspect shot both victims multiple times. The two suspects then fled the scene on foot.
