The identity of the deceased male, 23, is pending verification by the Harris County Insitute of Forensic Sciences.  The other wounded man, 27, George Rios Ramirez, was transported to Methodist Hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant R. Rodriguez and Officer M. Burrow reported:

A male (Mr. Ramirez) stated he was returning home from a night club and began walking to the front door of his residence at the above address when he was approached by four to five armed males.  According to the resident, the group of males began firing shots at him and he drew his own weapon and returned fire.  The resident was hit once in the upper back area.  He managed to shoot  two of the males, one of whom was pronounced dead at the scene.  The second wounded male suspect was picked up by a person(s) in a red Chevrolet Cruze.  That male was later transported to the hospital and subsequently charged with aggravated assault. 

Investigators are still searching for the additional two or three male suspects.  Anyone with information in this case is urged to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
