HOUSTON – One man is dead and another in custody following a shooting outside a home in southeast Houston early Sunday.
Police said a man was at his home near Gulf Valley and Springtime around 2:30 a.m. when he heard noises coming from the driveway.
He went outside and saw three men inside his fiancée’s car with the trunk open. Police said he yelled at them to get out of the car, but the suspects ignored him and continued grabbing stuff from his vehicle.
The homeowner told police he thought the suspects pointed a gun at him, so he opened fire as they got into their car, striking the driver’s side several times.
The driver was hit in the head and died at the scene after driving about two blocks down the road.
Police said the other two suspects got out of the car and ran.
An HPD unit responding to the shooting spotted them and told them to get on the ground. One of the suspects, identified as Jesus Alaniz, surrendered. The other suspect ran away.
Knowing a Harris Country grand jury, I think they will call this justified use of deadly force!
