HOUSTON -- Two men are dead after a Wednesday afternoon shooting in southwest Houston.

It happened just before 5pm in the 14000 block of South Main. Homicide detectives say they aren't sure what sparked the shooting but do know it was between two groups of men.

We're told one of the men died on the scene. The second victim was able to cross the street into another parking lot, jumped a fenced before collapsing at a nearby motel. He was transported to the hospital, where he later died.

Witnesses described the frightening moments when the shots were fired.
