HOUSTON — A man was found shot to death in front of a home early Saturday morning in the Heights area.
The motive of the shooting is unknown at this time, but it happened at around 4 a.m. in the 300 block of West 9th Street.
Houston police said they got a call for a shooting in progress and when they arrived on scene they found a man shot in front of the home with a gun lying next to him. Police attempted to render aid to the gunshot victim, but he was later pronounced dead.
It was suspected that someone, possibly the shooter, may have still been inside the home so a SWAT team was called to assist, police said.
At least one person was detained on scene. Police said this is a person of interest who may have been involved in this incident.
Sergeant Lieutenant Ignacio Izaguirre said there are several conflicting reports on what happened but police are looking into the possibility that the deceased person may have been a robber trying to break into the home.
This is an ongoing investigation.
