A Tuesday night shooting on Houston's southwest side left a man in the hospital and a gunman on the run, according to Houston police, who were still combing the scene for evidence overnight.
Officers with the Westside and Patrol Support units responded to the 9700 block of Court Glen Drive, where an adult male was shot and later transported to a hospital in stable condition. Investigators stayed on scene as the search for a suspect who fled on foot continued and officials held back most details.

HPD Shares Sparse Details on X
In a brief post on X, Houston Police said Westside and Patrol Support units were at a shooting scene at 9700 Court Glen. The department reported that an adult male was transported in stable condition and that a suspect had taken off on foot.
HPD did not immediately release a possible motive, a suspect description or the victim’s identity. Detectives were still processing the area around the complex at the time of the department’s online update, so more specifics will likely have to wait until they finish the basics: shell casings, canvassing and any camera checks.
Where the Gunfire Broke Out
The shooting was reported in the 9700 block of Court Glen Drive, an apartment-heavy stretch near Bissonnet and Kirkwood, according to mapping records. MapQuest lists that address as a residential complex.
The same block has seen previous gun violence, including a fatal shooting reported in earlier years by the Houston Chronicle, which has kept safety concerns on the radar for neighbors who live along Court Glen.
How Residents Can Help Investigators
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact Houston police or Crime Stoppers so detectives can follow up. The city’s police site lists the HPD non-emergency number as (713) 884-3131 and Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
Authorities say more reporting and updates typically appear on HPD’s official channels as cases develop. For now, details remain limited while investigators work through the scene and any leads from witnesses or nearby cameras.
