"We do have several witnesses, but it doesn't sound like there was an altercation. I don't know what the motive is for this, but there wasn't a fight or anything going on at the time," said HPD Lt. J.P. Horelica.



There are a lot of videos on social media showing the concert inside the theater and you can see a lot of security guards there. The crowd was into it, the performers were into it and the vibe was laid back and people were having fun.

Some witnesses suggested the victim may have been robbed, but police haven't confirmed that.

According to Arena Theatre's website, up to 2,800 people fit in the venue. So, there were plenty of people who may have seen something or recorded something on their phone. If that's you, and you haven't talked to police yet, you are urged to call the Houston Police Department.
