Harris County sheriff deputies responded to a shooting call about 2 a.m. in the 2600 block of FM 1960 East. Investigators believe multiple shooters were involved in the dispute, which started inside the club and then poured into the parking lot.
Investigator the deceased victim has been identified as Derrick Johnson, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt. Jason Brown said one man died at the scene and another man was taken to the Memorial Hermann Hospital by Life Flight with a gunshot wound to the head. He was last reported to be in critical condition but is expected to survive, Brown said.
