Mr. Mitchell stated that he was driving on Texas Spur 5 and approaching Elgin Street when he cut off a vehicle.  This led to a verbal altercation with the driver of the other vehicle and, at some point, a suspect inside the other vehicle fired several shots toward Mitchell's vehicle.  Mitchell was struck one time in the hip.  An adult female friend in Mitchell's vehicle was not struck.  Mitchell then drove to a business where someone assisted him and transported him to a local hospital.  The suspect vehicle fled the area.

There is no known suspect or vehicle description at this time. 

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers 713-222-TIPS.
