HOUSTON – A man died Saturday evening after a physical altercation at an auto body shop in north Houston, according to the Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Fatal fall in Aldine area <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The incident happened at an auto body shop on Willis Street near the Hardy Toll Road and Aldine Bender Road.<\/p>\n
Deputies were called to the business after a verbal argument between two men turned physical, according to investigators. The altercation continued for some time, and witnesses told investigators both men were actively involved in the fight.<\/p>\n
One man struck the other, causing him to fall and become unresponsive. Deputies and emergency medical personnel performed life-saving measures before taking him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The victim was believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, but authorities were still working to officially identify him.<\/p>\n
The other man involved is in his 20s. Investigators said the two men knew each other and may be related. One was reportedly a customer at the shop, while the other occasionally helped there.<\/p>\n
The man who struck the victim remained at the scene and has cooperated with investigators.<\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
The cause of death has not been determined. Authorities said an autopsy will examine whether the man died from being struck, hitting his head on the ground or a medical condition that occurred during the altercation.<\/p>\n
Investigators recovered surveillance video that reportedly captured the entire incident. Detectives have interviewed witnesses and others who were at the scene.<\/p>\n
The case will be handled as a homicide investigation and sent to the Harris County District Attorney\u2019s Office for review by a grand jury.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear whether the man involved in the altercation would face charges. A grand jury will consider whether he could have been criminally responsible, acted in self-defense or whether the fight amounted to mutual combat.<\/p>\n
