Houston authorities are on the lookout for Jerrell Butler, 41, a person of interest in the fatal shooting of a man at an apartment complex on Greens Road last night. The Houston Police Department urges anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to come forward, stating a potential connection with the case that left one man dead and a woman injured.

According to an official statement, the incident occurred around 8:50 p.m., when officers responded to reports of a shooting. At the scene, they discovered a man with fatal gunshot wounds and a 36-year-old woman suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. While the woman was quickly transported to an area hospital in stable condition, the man was pronounced deceased at the site by the Houston Fire Department paramedics.

Initial investigations suggest an altercation within the apartment led to the shooting, with Butler allegedly directly involved. The identity of the 37-year-old male victim remains unconfirmed as they await verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
