Surveillance video showed a black vehicle with no license plate that traveled west on Noble, Hatcher said. The vehicle stopped at a residence on Noble and three men got out. The men then started having an argument with someone in front of the home and the driver of the vehicle pulled out a gun and then shot it at the residence. All three of the men got back inside the vehicle and the passenger then pulled out a gun. He began shooting at the home before they fled the scene by going southbound on Brewster, Hatcher said.
Investigators said the suspects were wearing ski masks and appeared to be bald. The vehicle may have been a Malibu or Impala with dark-tinted windows.
Anyone with information on this shooting is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at (713) 308-3600.
