HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Police say a man is dead after a fight at the Scottish Inn on Antoine in northwest Houston overnight.
Houston Police Department officers say the shooting happened at about 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
According to HPD, a man in his 60s was killed, and a man in his mid-30s was shot. He’s expected to be OK.
Police say there was a man blocking the doorway to one of the rooms that had been rented out.
When the man who rented the room was trying to get in, police say the other man would not leave.
Soon, a group of five or six people, some of whom ABC13 is told rent long-term at the motel, gathered around to try to help.
HPD says that’s when the suspect got mad, and shots were fired.
“The whole beef started with him blocking a doorway and him not wanting to move, and people were just trying to get him to leave, and he would not get up and leave. When he got agitated, he got up and just started shooting at everybody,” HPD Lt. R. Willkens said.
Police say they believe they have the suspect in custody. They say he was wearing distinct clothing and that patrol officers spotted him not too long after the shooting outside a convenience store near Hammerly and Hollister.
However, police say they are looking for one more person involved.
HPD says when the suspect shot at that group of people, one of them shot back.
They are still trying to track that person down and speak with them about what happened.
