HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man is accused of shooting his cousin, who was also his roommate, more than a dozen times on Thursday afternoon, killing him.

Quinton Waldo Lee, 23, is charged with the murder after he allegedly shot the victim 25 times and took off.

Houston Police Department officers responded to the scene at 8447 Sterlingshire Street at about 2 p.m. and found the victim unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
