HOUSTON – A search is underway for whoever shot a man in northwest Harris County early Wednesday morning.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said it happened on Wimbledon Oaks Rd. off Hwy 290 & Huffmeister a little before 3:15 a.m. That’s when the Sheriff says via X, formerly known as Twitter, that a man in his early 50s “got in his vehicle, set to go to work” when several shots were fired at his car.
