A teenage boy in Fort Bend County, Houston, was left wounded after a shooting incident on Sunday night. The 15-year-old victim was reportedly shot before making his way back home to seek help, according to a FOX 26 Houston report. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office responded to the emergency call around 9 p.m. in the 6600 block of Renfro where they discovered the injured youth.

Details on what precipitated the incident are currently sparse, and the Sheriff's Office has not released any information regarding a suspect or the circumstances leading up to the shooting. The boy, who sustained a gunshot wound to his torso, was transported to the hospital and is expected to make a recovery. As this investigation unfolds, authorities are piecing together the sequence of events that resulted in this act of violence against a local teen.

Affirming the grim scenario, CW39 Houston reported that the shooting took place around 8 p.m., shortly before the teen was found. This time discrepancy suggests that the victim may have been trying to reach safety before contacting law enforcement. Neither reports have revealed the identity of the wounded teenager, maintaining his anonymity during the ongoing investigation.
