HOUSTON, Texas – Two people are dead and another was injured following a murder-suicide that police say stemmed from domestic violence in a Houston parking lot on Monday night.
The Houston Police Department say that a man showed up to an unsanctioned car meetup in a parking lot at 14191 Northwest Freeway and saw his ex-girlfriend with a new boyfriend.
The man reportedly shot his ex-girlfriend multiple times and shot the new boyfriend once.
Then, police say, he shot the ex-girlfriend several more times and then turned the gun on himself.
The shooter and the ex-girlfriend are dead, and the new boyfriend is at the hospital with a gunshot wound, expected to survive, police said.
Police say a Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy heard the gunshots while driving in the area and rendered aid to the new boyfriend’s gunshot wound.
The shooter has only been identified as a 26-year-old man. Police say the other victims appear to be in their 20s.
