Suspect Arrested After Deadly Shooting at Northwest Houston Motel

Investigators now seek the bystander who returned fire, with motive still unclear.

Overview

  • Police say a dispute over a blocked doorway at the Scottish Inns and Suites on Antoine Drive led to gunfire that left one man dead and another hurt.
  • As five to six people, including some long-term tenants, tried to help the renter get inside, the suspect turned from walking away and shot at the group.
  • A man in his 60s died at the scene, and a man in his 30s went to a hospital in a private car and is expected to recover.
  • Officers later found the suspect near Hammerly and Hollister, with ABC13 citing distinct clothing and FOX 26 describing a K-9 search and perimeter that ended in an arrest at a nearby apartment complex.
  • Police say one person in the group fired back and left the scene, and detectives are working to find him as they determine whether anyone knew the suspect.
