About 15 minutes immediately after responding to the scene, law enforcement acquired more cellphone phone calls about two young children arriving at an location medical center with gunshot wounds. 

Hatcher mentioned a 5-12 months-previous was shot and died of the injuries, though an 8-12 months-previous also shot is predicted to make a whole restoration.  

"It is unclear if the complainants had been the intended targets of the capturing or if there was anything else heading on in this place at the time," Hatcher mentioned. "We do not know a motive. We do not have suspect descriptions other than potentially two Black males in a dim-coloured motor vehicle. We are hunting for surveillance footage out here and are accumulating evidence." 

Based on info from a couple witnesses, Hatcher mentioned law enforcement imagine a dim-coloured motor vehicle, maybe with two occupants, was driving westbound on Rush Road, whilst the complainant’s automobile was touring northbound on Northborough. The occupants of the auto driving westbound started off discharging a firearm or perhaps several firearms. 

The complainant’s automobile was stopped at a cease indicator at an intersection when it was impacted by the gunshots, Hatcher claimed.

Everyone with information is questioned to connect with Houston police’s murder division at 713-308-3600 or criminal offense stoppers at 713-222-Strategies.
