Authorities responded to an emergency call late Monday evening at approximately 10:25 p.m. to 6915 Hoffman Street, where they found a 52-year-old male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical technicians from the Houston Fire Department declared the man deceased on their arrival, as reported by the City of Houston.
According to the official statement released by the Houston Police Department, an altercation reportedly preceded the fatal event, involving the now-deceased male allegedly assaulting a female.
