HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — Three men were shot following a possible altercation at a Galena Park basketball court last night, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez said one man was pronounced dead on the scene, and two other men were found nearby.
The sheriff said those two men are currently in the hospital in critical condition.
The three victims, according to the sheriff, are all in their late teens or early 20s.
The Sheriff’s Office believes this happened around 9:45 p.m. on Sunday at the Alvin D. Baggett Community Center on Keene Street.
Gonzalez said a possible fight broke out before a vehicle approached, and more than 20 shots were fired.
“This is a dangerous thing that happened,” he said. “Anybody could have been hurt.”
The sheriff is unsure whether or not all of the shots came from the vehicle or if there was an exchange of gunfire.
There are no suspects or motives at this time.
“We need the public’s help,” Gonzalez said. “We ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers of Houston.”
Gonzalez said they’re working to learn if there were any additional victims of this shooting.
