HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A suspected gunman is on the run after Houston police say he shot and killed a man outside of a convenience store and restaurant Wednesday morning.
The Houston Police Department said the deadly shooting happened around 1 a.m. as the victim was pressure washing, closing up for the night.
Eyewitness News obtained new surveillance video, showing the entire incident.
In the video, the driver can be seen sitting in a pickup truck at the intersection of Calumet and Live Oak for about 20 seconds before the victim, who is in his early 30s, appears to notice him, then goes to talk to him.
We see that they talk for less than a minute, the victim walks away and returns, then the driver gets out and shoots him point-blank.
Investigators said the victim’s brother was inside the store and found him dead in the parking lot.
“Individuals inside the store, some were family members, heard commotion and went out, one of the individuals, the brother, found his brother on the ground pretty confident we’re gonna figure out who this guy is. As of right now, I don’t know exactly what they were fighting about,” Lt. R. Willkens said.
Police say they’re confident they know who they’re looking for. Detectives told ABC13 that they believe this was a random act.
