HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man accused of shooting the new boyfriend of his child's mother to death at an apartment complex in the Texas Medical Center is still out there, police said.

The woman and her boyfriend were asleep in the apartment when police said her ex barged his way inside the unit. Detectives are still investigating how the man got inside.



Once inside, police said the ex-boyfriend shot the new boyfriend and then kidnapped the woman.

It was unclear where he took her, but she somehow got away because she made her way to the Houston Police Department's southwest substation to report the crime, according to police.



The child the woman and suspect share was not inside the apartment at the time of the shooting, police said.
