AN altercation which ended in an exchange of gunfire in the Channelview area of east Harris County, left one man dead and another injured.
According to ABC13, Harris County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a drive-by shooting in the 1400 block of Oakengates Drive at Sterling Green Boulevard shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday.
When deputies arrived to the scene, they found two men who had been shot.
One man was shot in the leg and was taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery.
A second, 28-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators said the 28-year-old got into an argument with his mother’s boyfriend and they both pulled out guns.
“After speaking to witnesses, we were able to determine this was not a drive-by shooting but an argument between the homeowner’s adult son and her boyfriend.
“Apparently after the argument, both of them produced handguns and shot at each other,” Sgt. Ben Beall said.
Investigators said they were interviewing witnesses and looking for surveillance video in the neighborhood.
The case will be presented to a grand jury to decide if charges will be filed.
