On arrival, deputies located two unidentified Hispanic males in their early twenties unresponsive from apparent gunshot wounds down a parking lot.

Paramedics pronounced one victim deceased at the scene. The other victim was transported via LifeFlight to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was pronounced deceased on arrival.

Witnesses reported observing a large crowd gathered outside in the parking lot immediately before the shooting. Several people were observed running from the scene after the shooting.

A preliminary investigation determined several people, approximately 30 or so, were drinking and barbecuing out in front of a business when some sort of altercation occurred. The fight escalated into a shooting, said Sergeant Pinkens during a news conference.

The case remains under investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. At this time, no suspect description information is available, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators urge anyone with information about this case to call HCSO homicide unit at 713-221-6000 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
