17-year-old killed after being shot multiple times in apartment parking lot

HOUSTON - A 17-year-old female was found shot to death in the parking lot of a northern Harris County apartment complex on Sunday.

Harris County deputies were called to the apartment in the 17200 block of Hafer Road around midnight.

They found 17-year-old Laurynn Galloway with multiple gun shot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Galloway was involved in an altercation with a man before she was shot.

"I heard like, four to five shots, but I didn’t think nothing of it because it happened all the time on a normal basis," said Justin Lindsey, a resident at the complex. 

Some residents said they heard information about the shooting but many of them don't want to speak. 

"Long as you mind your business and stay out of the way, you won’t have to worry about that. I go to work, and come home. go to work and come home. You know, kids in the house, school, in the house," said Lindsey. 

Residents said shootings often happen in the area. 

"Bad things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people," said Lindsey.
