Investigation underway after fatal shooting of truck driver

AN investigation is underway after a young tow truck driver was gunned down after an apparent altercation in north Houston.

In a news release, Houston Police Department said the shooting happened in the 5900 block of the North Freeway at about 12:25 p.m. at an auto storage and body shop building:

“Officers responded to a report of a shooting and found the 23-year-old victim with several gunshot wounds in the parking lot.

“Houston Fire Department paramedics who arrived pronounced the man dead at the scene.”

According to HPD, witnesses said the victim may have argued with multiple suspects over a car possibly being towed.

Houston Police Department said this event led to the alleged suspects pulling out weapons and opening fire on the 23-year-old.

CrimesChroniclers gathered that all suspects fled the scene.

The victim, according to his boss who spoke to ABC13, was a father to a newborn baby.
