Police said they were called to the 600 block of Mayford St. off Hardy Toll Rd. a little after 10:15 p.m. When they arrived, when Houston PD Lt. Horelica said an unidentified man between the ages of 18 and 20 was found shot to death.

It’s unclear what caused the shootout, but police said two groups were involved, one of them left but returned and fired several more shots at the other. Officials were given a description of a car driven by one of the shooters that matched what they heard a few blocks away.
