One Dead at Houston Trail-Ride Shooting as HPD Probes Two Other Overnight Shootings

Detectives say a crowded scene with likely multiple shooters has slowed the search for suspects.

Overview

  • At least six people were shot at the Homestead Road event; four victims ages 16 to 22 are stable, and one initially critical patient has died.
  • Police say officers were already at the strip-center area to disperse a large trail ride and block party when an altercation escalated into gunfire.
  • Investigators report hundreds were present, believe there were multiple shooters, have not identified suspects, and homicide detectives now lead the case.
  • Separate shootings after midnight left a man injured on Eastwood Street and a 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man wounded on Telephone Road, all listed as stable.
  • HPD says the three incidents are unrelated, urges tips to Crime Stoppers or the Major Assaults Division, and notes prior neighborhood complaints about large gatherings on Homestead.
