Three people were killed in a span of six hours at three separate scenes across the Houston area, according to police.
The three fatal incidents were among at least six shootings reported overnight.
Colquitt Street
At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Houston police officers responded to a welfare check at an apartment in the 2000 block of Colquitt Street near McDuffie Street in the Montrose area.
Inside, officers found a man dead. They said it’s unclear how he died, but they believe it was not a natural death.
Investigators said neighbors sounded the alarm after not hearing from the man all day.
The medical examiner’s office will determine the man’s cause of death.
Westpark Drive
About an hour later, officers responded to a shooting at an apartment complex in the 10000 block of Westpark Drive near S. Gessner Road.
At the scene, officers found a woman dead with gunshot wounds.
Investigators believe a man knocked on the woman’s door, and when she answered, he forced his way inside and a fight began. It all ended when the woman was shot and killed.
