December 23, 2024 - Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of one man and wounding of another at 10600 Jordan Heights Drive about 11:05 p.m. on Saturday (Dec. 21).

The identity of the deceased male, 19, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. A second male, 18, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.

HPD Homicide Division Detectives E. Camacho and K. Hale reported:

Officers in the area of the 7800 block of East Tidwell Road were flagged down by the driver of a white Cadillac SUV who told them of a male with gunshot wounds inside the SUV. Paramedics were called and pronounced the man deceased.

Detectives learned the Cadillac's driver had taken the male to a residence at 10647 Jordan Heights Drive to meet up with an unknown male. As the male and unknown male were speaking, three other males approached the SUV and started firing shots at those inside the SUV. The driver fled the scene as the three males continued to fire shots at the vehicle. The three male suspects, described only as black males, fled on foot.

The unknown male at the scene on Jordan Heights was also wounded and taken to an area hospital.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
