It happened a little before 10 p.m. on W Canino Rd. just off the North Fwy feeder road. That’s where officers with the Houston Police Department were called to a shooting call and found an unidentified man in his early 20s inside his car, shot to death.

It’s unclear what exactly caused the shooting, but police say a good Samaritan was near the scene and caught the incident unfolding on their DashCam. The video, according to police, showed the unidentified man was heading westbound on W Canino Rd. and approaching a stop sign.
