HOUSTON – Houston police were investigating a series of shootings in Midtown that left one person dead and multiple others injured on Monday.
According to police, the first shooting took place just before 6 p.m. near Gray and Travis Street.
HPD says it all started when a gunman walked up to the first victim and said something along the lines of, ‘Do you remember me?’ before opening fire, and shooting him.
During that shooting, police say an innocent bystander was wounded by a stray bullet.
Afterward, authorities say the first gunman left the scene and was walking along Gray Street near Main when a second gunman came out from behind a restaurant and began shooting at him.
The first gunman was reportedly killed, and at some point during that shooting, another innocent person was wounded by the second round of stray bullets. That innocent person was said to be a rideshare driver.
Houston police are currently searching for the second suspected gunman who remains at large.
