HOUSTON — Murder charges have been filed against a man accused of killing someone outside a southwest Houston Walmart Saturday, Houston police say.
Police believe the two were arguing over a parking space, according to HPD.

The accused shooter walked into the store where he was detained by officers.
The victim was rushed to Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital in critical condition. He was later airlifted to Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
