The shooting was reported in the 12200 block of Bammel North Houston Road on Tuesday morning, and occurred inside a Tesla, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.
The suspect, who was the passenger in the Tesla, was reportedly critically injured after being shot, HCSO said. They added that the robbery victim, who was the driver, was also taken to the hospital, but did not say in what condition.
Officials said the two men, reportedly in their early to mid-20s, were recently acquainted and met to shoot social media content.
Major Ben Katrib said that both men work as social media influencers and were armed.
Katrib said that when the passenger pulled out his gun and tried to rob the driver, a short fight ensued, and the driver shot the passenger. He added that the passenger tried to run away from the Tesla but collapsed on the road.
The shooter, despite being taken to the hospital, does not appear to have been shot, according to Katrib.
Katrib said the names of the men involved were not being released at the time, and that an investigation is underway.
HCSO said that the northbound lanes of Bammel North Houston Road were shut down for the investigation.
Officials originally said the shooting occurred at a Valero gas station, but later clarified it occurred on the road while waiting at a red light.
