Two men were shot and one died in northeast Houston Wednesday night at a gathering of people reportedly playing dominoes.
The victims are a man in his 20s and a man in his mid-50s, according to Houston police Lt. R. Willkens. Video from OnScene TV shows a blue building surrounded by police tape at the intersection of Laura Koppe Road and Lockwood Drive.
The shooting occurred just after 10 p.m. Wednesday in the 4900 block of Laura Koppe Road, according to Willkens. The man in his 20s died on scene.
The man in his 50s was in a vehicle when he was shot in the face. He was transported to a local hospital by the driver of the truck he was a passenger in. He was in critical condition and had surgery, Willkens said.
There were at least two shooters and no description of the suspects has been given. No weapons were found on the man who died, he said. Police don’t believe either men were involved in the shooting and they were just there where people were gathered.
There were numerous rifle casings at the scene.
“This is a location where people are known to gather and tonight it just turned sour,” he said.
Houston police continue to investigate the shooting.
