HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at a lounge at the above address. Officers learned a security guard working at the location got into a physical altercation with a man who refused to leave the location after closing. As the security guard called 911, he saw the man display a gun. The security guard then saw the man raise the gun and point it in his direction. Fearing for his life, the guard fired his weapon at the man and struck him.

Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the man deceased.
