There was not a lot of details authorities were able to provide, due to the ongoing investigations. However, preliminary information from HPD was that an unidentified man has locked himself in a home in the 1900 block of Richmond Ave. Officials said prior to barricading himself, he shot another man and believed he was still armed.
During a press conference with HPD Commander Howard, officials received a call about a shooting in the area, where an unidentified victim was shot several times. He was rushed to the hospital, where we're told he later succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities tried to reach out to the suspect, initially believed to be barricading himself in the home and once they got a search warrant, they discovered the home was empty.
No other information was available, as of this writing. FOX 26 Houston will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
