The victim Deontra Dontell Smith, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene.

HPD Homicide Division Officers K. Fregia and K. Ferguson reported:  

Mr. Smith got into an altercation in the parking lot of the Pines of Westbury Apartments at the above address.  Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and then saw Smith run through the complex before he collapsed on a sidewalk in the complex.  Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived and pronounced him deceased.  

Further investigation and witness statements determined one of the male suspects exited a dark-colored SUV, possibly a Chevy Trailblazer, and the other male suspect exited a black Camaro.  Both suspects started shooting at Smith as he ran from them.  Other witnesses stated the female suspect was seen sitting in the black Camaro and had a verbal altercation with Smith prior to him being ambushed and shot in the back.
