Overview
- A man was found shot near a bus stop at Cavalcade and Northwood and was declared dead at the scene by the Houston Fire Department; no suspect is in custody.
- Police say a witness reported a car pulled up to the Heights bus stop, someone got out and fired multiple times, and investigators do not yet know if the attack was targeted or random.
- Officers responded to a separate River Oaks incident after a fight on a METRO bus where a struggle over a gun left a man shot in the finger with non-life-threatening injuries.
- HPD arrested a woman at the bus scene, recovered the weapon, and METRO said the parties appeared to be acquainted and there was no ongoing danger to the public.
- Investigators are treating the Heights case as an active homicide probe and are seeking video and witnesses while the bus case has moved to an active arrest phase and could prompt closer scrutiny of transit safety.
