19-Year-Old Critically Wounded in Drive-By Shooting on I-45 in Houston

Police found a bullet-riddled pickup on a Glenborough Drive feeder road with no suspects identified.

Overview

  • Witnesses told officers an unknown vehicle pulled alongside a southbound pickup on I-45 and fired multiple rounds, striking a back-seat passenger who was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
  • At least three people were in the pickup when the shooting occurred and officers later located the truck parked on the feeder near Glenborough Drive with multiple bullet holes.
  • Houston Police Department and North Belt patrol units are handling the investigation and have not released a description of the shooter’s vehicle or named any suspects.
  • Moving-scene shootings create evidence challenges because investigators must piece together where shots were fired, what vehicles were involved, and any surveillance or witness accounts that can produce leads.
  • The I-45 attack follows several separate shootings in the Houston area in recent weeks, including a July parking-lot killing that led to an arrest, underscoring ongoing local gun-violence concerns and active but developing police probes.
