CHANNELVIEW, Texas - Authorities are looking into what caused a woman's death Wednesday after a shooting in east Harris County. 

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez gave preliminary information on social media saying his own officers along with constable deputies from Harris Co. Pct. 3 were called to the 700 block of Coolidge St. in Channelview. 

That's where the sheriff said "several individuals strived at the location for unknown reasons and a possible disturbance broke out." At some point, Adrian Lowe, 32, grabbed a gun, possibly an Assault Rifle, Sheriff Gonzalez added and shot a woman, later identified as Tempe Shelton, 62. 

We're told the incident may have been drug-related, where Shelton was in the backseat of a car when Lowe reportedly shot at her.
