HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Police Department said it’s looking for whoever shot a man at a red light in northeast Houston on Wednesday night.

The victim was ultimately pronounced dead at the hospital, according to a lieutenant with the agency.

Police said it happened at the intersection of Laura Koppe Road and Hirsch Road at about 9 p.m. as the victim was sitting in his vehicle.

Authorities believe someone with a rifle came out of a stopped SUV and fired multiple shots into the victim’s vehicle.

“He suffered gunshots all over his body,” Lt. R. Willkens with HPD said.

Willkens said there were shell casings left on the scene, but at this point, a suspect has not been identified.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Houston Police Department’s homicide division at 713 308-3600.
