Houston, Texas – Police are currently investigating a fatal shooting incident that took place on Sunday evening in southeast Houston near Grimes Park, located in the 5100 block of Reed Street.
Authorities responded to reports of the shooting at approximately 6:45 p.m. where they discovered a 19-year-old woman in the middle of the street with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite efforts by the officers to provide medical assistance, the woman sadly succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
