HARRIS COUNTY – A man was found shot and killed outside a home in northwest Harris County on Sunday morning and deputies are still searching for the gunman.
Officials say they have surveillance footage of a young man on a scooter in the area at the time of the shooting.
It happened around 3:48 a.m. early Sunday morning in the 19200 block of Golden Wave Drive near Greenhouse Road, in the Katy area.
When deputies arrived to the neighborhood, they found shell casings in the street.
Two men told deputies they were walking down the street when a Hispanic man between 16 to 20 years old pulled up next to them on a scooter and opened fire.
Deputies say three men were shot at and they all ran in different directions.
About 45 minutes later, deputies found one of the victims dead in the backyard of a home. Deputies say the men knew each other and two of them were cousins.
The victim was 30 years old and recently moved from Louisiana with his family.
“They had just been hanging outside about 3 o’clock in the morning when this male rode up. They said it was unprovoked and started shooting,” said HCSO Sgt. Dennis Wolford.
The victim’s name has not been released. Investigators are trying to learn what led to the shooting.
If you know anything about this shooting, you’re asked to call the HCSO or Crimestoppers.
