HPD patrol officers and Houston Fire Department personnel responded to a person down call and found the victim unresponsive in the roadside at the above address. He had suffered at least one gunshot wound. Paramedics transported him to the hospital.

Preliminary investigation revealed the victim and a female were involved in an argument. The female retrieved a gun from a vehicle and shot into the ground. The female then approached the victim and shot him. She fled the scene but later returned. Officers detained the female, identified as Taylor, and consulted the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Taylor was subsequently charged and booked into the Harris County Jail.
