HOUSTON – Two men are dead following a shootout near an apartment complex in west Houston Thursday night.
Officers with the Houston Police Department responded to the shooting located at 1890 Barker Cypress around 10 p.m.
Upon responding, officers found a man in his 20s with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Moments later, officers learned of a second victim who had been dropped off at a nearby trauma center with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Investigators believe the two shootings are connected because witnesses told them a white Lexus with black rims was seen leaving the area after the shooting, and the same vehicle was spotted dropping off the second gunshot victim at the hospital.
Both men were Hispanic and in their mid-20s, according to investigators.
Authorities said they located a firearm at the scene. No arrests have been made.
