November 24, 2021 - Houston police are investigating the shooting of a woman at 4718 Lockwood Drive about 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday (November 23).  

The victim, Cynthia Joyce Gilmore, 43, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.

Ms. Gilmore and a female suspect got into a verbal argument after Gilmore started a fire inside a convenience store at the above address and the suspect extinguished it.  During the argument, the suspect pulled out a gun and pointed it at Gilmore.  Both women then went back inside the store and continued to argue.  

The argument escalated to a physical fight during which the suspect fired the gun and struck Gilmore in the chest.  The suspect, described only as a black female, fled the scene in an unknown direction.  Houston Fire Department paramedics transported Gilmore to the hospital.
