Early Sunday morning in southwest Houston, a shooting incident resulted in the death of a 17-year-old girl and injuries to three other young adults. According to Houston Assistant Police Chief Wyatt Martin, the incident occurred after 1 a.m. on West Fuqua Street following a dispute outside a local business.

While the exact motive remains unclear, Chief Martin stated during a press conference that two groups of individuals appear to have exchanged gunfire. The deceased victim, a teenage girl nearing her 18th birthday, was tragically caught in the crossfire.

The three injured individuals include an 18-year-old woman and two men, also aged 18 and 20. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening. The woman was transported to a local hospital by firefighters, while the two men sought medical attention by private vehicle.

Based on the numerous shell casings recovered at the scene, authorities believe at least two individuals were involved in the shooting. Chief Martin described the scene as "very chaotic" and urged any witnesses with information or potential evidence, such as cell phone recordings, to come forward and assist in the investigation.
