The double shooting led to a chase and crash involving a possible suspect, who is now detained, police say.

HOUSTON — A teenager was killed and another was wounded during a shooting outside a north Houston Walmart store early Tuesday, police said.

The shooting was reported at about 1:50 a.m. in the 4400 block of I-45 just north of the 610 Loop.

A motive for the shooting, which was initially reported as a possible carjacking, was not immediately confirmed, and as of noon no charges were filed in the case.

Police said there was an altercation in the parking lot when the shots rang out.

Officers found one victim, age 17, dead at the scene. The victim who survived, age 16, was said to be alert and talking as he was loaded into an ambulance. He's expected to make a full recovery.

KHOU 11's Michelle Choi was at the parking lot after the double shooting. She later reported the crime was caught on surveillance video.

A second possible suspect remained on the run as of early Tuesday afternoon. Police said the vehicle that person was in was later recovered, however, no arrests were made.
