Police were called to a residence and found 59-year-old Anthony Merchant lying unresponsive in the street.

Just two days before, Merchant’s son was also reportedly gunned down and killed at the same residence.

Medics said Merchant suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to HCA Houston Healthcare Clear Lake, where he was pronounced dead.

The unknown suspects fled the scene.
