Two Fatal Shootings Rock Houston in Recent Days

HOUSTON – Police are investigating two fatal shootings that occurred in Houston over the course of a few days. The first shooting took place late Friday night, while the second incident occurred Thursday morning at a southeast Houston donut shop.

In the first case, officers responded to Sherwood Forest Street near the Katy Freeway just before 11 p.m. Friday. A police lieutenant stated that multiple disturbances were reported at the location before the shooting. Upon arrival, officers found a man in his early 30s deceased, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. The identity of the victim has not been released, and police are seeking any information about suspects or a motive.

Houston Police Department encourages anyone with information to contact HPD’s Homicide Division at 713-308-3600. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

In the second incident, one person died following a shooting at Snowflake Donuts near the Gulf Freeway at around 6:10 a.m. Thursday. According to police, the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery. Officers discovered a man shot behind the purchase counter; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The store owner reported that an employee was targeted during the alleged robbery, and the owner’s husband allegedly shot the suspect. The supposed robber has not yet been identified, and the case will be reviewed by a Harris County grand jury.

The context surrounding both shootings remains unclear as investigations continue.
