A man and two women were reportedly shot at a gas station in west Houston early Monday morning, according to police.
According to ABC13 Houston, all three victims are in their late teens to early 20s.
It was gathered that Houston police were called to the 11800 block of Bellaire Boulevard near South Kirkwood Road shortly after 4 a.m.
At the scene, CrimesChroniclers learnt that officers found a vehicle with multiple bullet holes parked at a gas pump.
Inside that vehicle, police found a man who had been shot multiple times. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
While canvassing the area, officers later found two women hiding behind the building, according to Houston Police Department.
They both had gunshot wounds. One of them was shot once in the hand, and the other was shot once in the thigh.
Both of the women were treated at the scene and transported to area hospitals.
Upon reviewing surveillance video, police learned that all three victims were inside the same vehicle with one additional male.
They reportedly met up with another group of people in a maroon Chevy vehicle.
Police believe there was some sort of transaction between the two vehicles.
At some point, a suspect inside the maroon Chevy fired multiple shots, striking the victims’ vehicle multiple times.
The Chevy drove off after the shooting, according to police.
Houston police said the uninjured man who was in the vehicle with the victims ran off and hasn’t been located.
Investigators noted that they found money scattered all over the parking lot and in the vehicle after the shooting.
They did not immediately provide specifics about the nature of the transaction between the two vehicles.
