Houston police are investigating a possible fatal drive-by shooting that occurred in the 14100 block of Buffalo Speedway in southwest Houston.
Assistant Chief Yasar Bashir with the Houston Police Department said police received a call around 4:50 p.m. about the shooting. When police arrived, they found one person shot dead.
Officers then became aware of another incident in the 14100 block of Fleetwell Drive. An officer made their way to the area and found a second person shot dead.
According to Bashir, the three victims were all in the 14100 block of Fleetwell Drive around 4:40 p.m. when one or more suspects began shooting at them. One person was hit and died at the scene on Fleetwell Drive while a second person ran and ended up on Buffalo Speedway where they passed away. The third victim ran as well and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officials are unsure if the victims are related and their ages range from 20s to 60s.
Police are now investigating whether the shooting was related to a street racing incident on I-10 Eastbound, which resulted in the death of a driver.
Police will be having extra patrols in the neighborhood throughout the evening. Anyone with any information is asked to contact HPS Homicide Division or CrimeStoppers.
