Deputies with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office arrived to find two people shot. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The second was rushed to a hospital and was expected to recover. Officials have not released the victims' names or said what might have sparked the gunfire, as investigators continued working the scene.

The post confirmed one person died at the scene and another was transported to a nearby hospital but did not offer any suspect description or timeline of how the shooting unfolded.
