HOUSTON — A teen was killed and three other youths injured in a shooting in southwestern Houston on Sunday morning, police said.
Houston assistant police chief Wyatt Martin said an altercation outside a business led to the after 1 a.m. shooting on West Fuqua Street.
“We do not yet have many details about the exact motive of the shooting. Apparently two groups of individuals shot at each other,” Martin said at a press conference at the scene.
The deceased victim was a 17-year-old girl who was about to turn 18, Martin said.
Three other victims with non-life-threatening injuries were an 18-year-old woman and two men, ages 18 and 20. The woman was transported to an area hospital by firefighters and the men went to a hospital in private vehicles, Martin said. .
According to Martin, there were at least two shooters, based on multiple shell casings found at the scene.
“It was a very chaotic scene,” Martin said, calling for witnesses to come forward. “We are hoping that someone out there saw something, maybe has evidence. It seems like people always have their mobile phones on, they are filming.”
