HOUSTON — A man is charged in connection with the weekend shootings of two women near the Galleria area. They're still looking for a second gunman.
The woman who died at the scene has been identified as Destinee Govan, 25. The 20-year-old passenger was wounded but she survived and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Houston Police Department.
The victims were shot multiple times while stopped at the intersection of Richmond Avenue and Chimney Rock. Police said two guys got out of a dark-colored vehicle in front of them and opened fire.
A man found nearby with a gunshot wound was later linked to the double shooting and charged with murder, HPD said. Christian Isaiah Williams, 24, remains in the hospital and will go straight to jail when he's released.
The second gunman got away and police are still looking for him.
Homicide detectives weren't sure what motivated the shooting.
"We don't have any information about motive at this time," HPD Assistant Chief Martin said Saturday. "Could be road rage, could've been a robbery. We don't have enough information at this time to make a determination."
Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts of the wanted male is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. You can also submit tips online.
