One killed in Memorial-area shooting

What we know:

Lieutenant Crowson says Westside officers were called around 8 p.m. to a shooting on Country Place Drive at an apartment complex.

When officers arrived, they found one man dead in the courtyard with at least one gunshot wound, police said. A bag of marijuana was found nearby, and Lt. Crowson says initial belief is a drug deal escalated to a shooting. 

While investigating the shooting, there was a call from an ER nearby that a male had come in with a gunshot wound to the arm.

According to Crowson, a black vehicle pulled up to the clinic and pushed the male victim out of the car before driving off.

The male at the ER told Houston police he had been shot near Bissonet Street and Boone Road. However, Lt. Crowson states they do not believe him and believe he was involved in the shooting on Country Place Drive.

At this time, investigators are trying to find surveillance to identify possible suspects.

It has not been confirmed if the man who went to the ER was involved in the Country Place Drive shooting. Police also say they don't know if he could have been a victim or suspect.

No suspect have been identified.
