Search continues for 13-year-old accused of fatally shooting man in east Harris County

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A search is underway for the 13-year-old boy suspected in the fatal shooting of a man in east Harris County.

Authorities say this all started with a domestic disturbance at about 7:30 p.m. Friday when a man and his girlfriend showed up at a home on Bayou Drive near Forest Trail Drive for parental visitation with a child.

That's when there was an argument and investigators say the 13-year-old pulled out a gun, shot the man and took off running into the woods.

Investigators have identified the victim as 24-year-old David Jimenez.

The victim was placed in a truck by neighbors who tried to take him to the hospital.

The driver ended up pulling over to a Shell gas station near the East Freeway at Magnolia, where the victim, described as a Hispanic man in his 20's, was pronounced dead.

Deputies looked for the boy in a wooded area near his home and continued their search overnight.

Officials described the boy as being Hispanic, but could not say what he was wearing.
