One person is dead after a shooting Tuesday evening in Galveston, and as of Tuesday night, no suspect was in custody. Officers responded to 4010 Sealy St. and found a single victim who had been shot, with police confirming the death the same night.
Dispatchers Called to Scene Around 7:30 P.M.
According to The Daily News, emergency dispatch reports indicated crews were called to the area about 7:30 p.m. for a person suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Police said no other injuries were reported in connection with the shooting.
Authorities have not released the identity of the person who died, and the paper's report notes that no suspect had been taken into custody as of Tuesday night. The circumstances surrounding the shooting, including what led to the gunfire and whether the victim and the shooter knew each other, were not immediately available, per the same account.
Investigation Remains Open
Galveston police said the investigation remains ongoing and that additional information will be provided as it becomes available, the outlet reported. No further details on a possible motive or any persons of interest had surfaced as of Tuesday night.
Tuesday's shooting echoes an earlier case in Galveston, where a man was fatally shot in July 2025 following a foot chase that ended near Broadway and 44th Street, as previously reported by The Daily News. In that case, police said they believed the two men involved knew each other and that an argument had led to the shooting, and they later sought a murder charge against 29-year-old Jovani Rodriguez, who had already been arrested on felony criminal trespassing charges. Whether Tuesday's shooting shares any similarities with that earlier case has not been established.
No additional details about Tuesday's shooting, including the victim's name or any arrests, had been released as investigators continued working the case.
