According to Houston police, on June 26, Jacob Allen Ramirez was attempting to enter a small parking lot at 4 Rittenhouse Street about 2:20 a.m., just as Lopez was attempting to drive out of it.

Police said the two men got into a verbal altercation and Ramirez, 31, exited his vehicle and approached Lopez.  At that time, Lopez allegedly pulled a gun and fired several shots at Ramirez, striking him once.

Lopez then fled the scene, police said.

Paramedics transported Ramirez to a hospital, where he underwent surgery.

 Further investigation led to the identity of Lopez as the suspect and he was subsequently charged.
