Man dies after being found shot in driveway of Katy-area home

The shooting victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he died.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man is dead after being found shot in the driveway of a Katy area home Monday.

It happened in a neighborhood near Porter Road north of Morton Ranch. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez first posted to X about the shooting Monday night.

Gonzalez said the victim, whose name isn’t being released until next of kin can be notified, was in the car with another man and a woman driving. Gonzalez said the woman was a cousin to both men.

The two men started arguing and that’s when sheriff's office investigators said one of the men shot the other in the head. That shooting victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead.

In his post, Gonzalez said the shooter took off on foot, but was taken into custody by deputies shortly after. Gonzalez said the suspected shooter is in the Harris County Jail charged with murder.
