According to Megan Howard, Assistant Chief with the Houston Police Department, they responded to the scene at around 7 p.m. No one was still there when they arrived but they were able to investigate and learned that three men had been in a physical altercation at the location.
Howard said two of the men were brothers. All three men appear to be in their thirties.
Howard said while the men were fighting, a woman in a nearby truck pulled out a weapon and opened fire, killing one of the men.
The two surviving men separated at that point and one of them jumped into the truck. The man and woman then fled the scene.
The other man along with his brother were taken to the hospital by a private vehicle where one of the men was pronounced dead. The surviving man is being interviewed by officers.
The woman and the man who had jumped into the truck also showed up at a hospital for treatment of the man’s wound. They were detained and were interviewed by officers.
HPD commander and PIO are en route to a scene in the 13900 block of Main Street.
