A young man described as being in his late teens or early 20s was found shot near an apartment complex on Huntington Glen Drive in Alief Sunday night, and officers have yet to find a single shell casing to help explain what happened. He was taken to an area hospital in critical but stable condition after suffering at least one gunshot wound.
Houston police officers were called to the apartment complex near Bissonnet Street around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, according to Lt. Horelica, as reported by FOX 26 Houston. Officers found the wounded young man near the complex and provided first aid until Houston Fire Department crews arrived, the lieutenant said. Officers responded to the complex.
Investigators Still Can't Pin Down Where the Shooting Happened
Investigators believe the shooting happened somewhere inside or around the nearby complex, but Lt. Horelica said they have not narrowed down the exact location, per the station's report. As of the latest update, officers had not located any shell casings and were still trying to determine exactly where the man was shot and who pulled the trigger. Houston police have not identified any suspects, and no suspect information or shooter descriptions have been released.
The shooting remains under investigation, and no further details about the victim's identity have been disclosed.
Other Recent Shootings in the Area
The Huntington Glen Drive shooting is another reported shooting in southwest Houston. In a separate case 17 days earlier, on Oct. 22, officers responded around 9:30 p.m. to a shooting call in the 1000 block of West Orem Drive, where they found a man who had been shot in the upper body and was taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to Click2Houston. Police said a second shooting occurred about two blocks west of that scene, with gunfire striking an occupied residence, though no injuries were reported there.
In another Alief-area case, a man was killed late on a Friday night after officers responded to a call in the 11400 block of Bissonnet Street near Boone Road and found him in a business parking lot, according to ABC13. Authorities did not immediately release further information about the victim or any details on a possible shooter as that investigation continued.
No arrests have been announced in Sunday night's shooting, and anyone with information is encouraged to work with Houston police as the investigation into who shot the young man, and where exactly it happened, continues.
