Police said they are now searching for a man with bright red dyed hair. He and another suspect were provoked and fired shots after the victim asked a simple question, according to HPD.

"As they were walking down the street, the man on the roof, our victim, asked them if they were lost. I guess they got agitated by the question and one of them took two shots, striking our victim in the lower back area," said an HPD officer.
