A child-custody meeting turned violent on Tuesday night outside the Walmart at 6060 North Fry Road in west Harris County. Deputies say a dispute between a father, his girlfriend, the child’s mother and her group led to gunfire in the parking lot. The father’s girlfriend was shot in the leg, and the child was in a vehicle at the scene, according to Click2Houston.
The couple attempted to leave the area in a vehicle, but the child's mother followed them and the man crashed the car near North Fry Road and Coldfield Drive. The woman was taken to a hospital in stable condition, and the man and child in the crashed vehicle were not injured, as reported by FOX26 Houston.
Investigators say the incident may be related to a prior custody dispute. The suspects left the scene and have not been located, and the case remains under investigation.
