HOUSTON – The man accused of shooting two people behind a Burger King in southeast Houston on Wednesday has been arrested, according to the Houston Police Department.

The man’s name has not yet been released, but police said charges are being filed.

Around 11 a.m., officers responded to reports of a shooting behind a Burger King located in the 7700 block of Bellfort Avenue and Dover Street.

Police say they found a middle-aged man dead behind the Burger King with gunshot wounds.

At 11:20 a.m., officers discovered shell casings and a blood trail a block away leading from a Walgreens pharmacy to a KinderCare Learning Center next door. Investigators then located a second man with gunshot wounds behind the daycare. He was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
