This all started when police stated on Thursday evening this all stemmed from a verbal fight at a community soccer game where two groups were involved on Wednesday. The two groups of juveniles had some kind of disturbance with one group exposing a weapon to the other juvenile group. The fight led to further conflicts at school.

Fast forward to Thursday where officials said one of the groups was eating at a restaurant. 

Officials said while a second individual, who is believed to be the shooter, was picked up at an Aldine grocery store by an older model Ram 1500.

That truck, then passed by the group of juveniles that were with the 17-year-old victim on Thursday, officials said. 

Houston police said it's unknown what was exchanged at the restaurant, but the truck came to the McDonald's, did a U-turn, and it came to the drive-thru to order some food. 

At that point, officials said the juveniles that were at the restaurant walked to the McDonald's, walked to the vehicle, and a verbal fight began. 

During the verbal fight, officials said one of the passengers in the Ram pickup truck pulled the trigger and shot the victim. 

Authorities said they did get good license plates and detectives are looking for a red Dodge half-ton pickup truck.

The victim's name has not been released.
