Woman Shot Outside West Harris County Walmart During Reported Custody Dispute

Investigators are seeking at least four people who fled in a vehicle.

Overview

  • Deputies were dispatched around 9:20 p.m. to reports of gunfire at the Walmart at 6060 North Fry Road near West Little York.
  • While en route, officers found a wrecked white sedan at North Fry Road and Coldfield Street and discovered a woman with a gunshot wound to the leg.
  • Authorities say the confrontation began when a father, his girlfriend, and his child encountered members of the child's mother's family inside the store, leading to a parking-lot dispute and shots fired.
  • The trio left in the sedan as the other group briefly chased them, and the wounded woman was later hospitalized in stable condition; the man and child were uninjured.
  • The suspect vehicle left the scene, suspects remain unidentified, and the Harris County Domestic Violence Unit is leading the investigation.
