Possible Houston road rage killing: Man found shot dead after crashing truck into community pool house
HOUSTON - A man was found shot to death after crashing his truck into a community pool house on Wednesday morning.
Authorities responded to reports of a person shot inside a vehicle around 11:55 a.m. at 12200 Bissonnet Street near Cook Road.
"I [saw] a big explosion - and when I [saw] the big explosion, I call 911 to see if they can save somebody," said a woman who witnessed the crash.
She says when she approached the scene, she and other witnesses realized the driver had been shot.
In a video she took, a man can be heard saying, "It was a drive by, he is definitely shot. He was shot like 30 times."
Police say they don't know how many times the vehicle or victim was shot at this point, but say the Hispanic male victim was hit at least once, killing him.
Details are still emerging, but preliminary information suggests that the shooting happened near Kirkwood and Bissonnet, and the driver continued west down Bissonnet, veering over the median and crashing into the community building.
They say the suspect is at large, and they think they were driving a dark sedan.
"I feel bad for the family and I hope God is with them in this moment," said the witness.
