The man who was later shot told police he punched one of the gunmen, police said. Then, it escalated in the parking lot.

"As our shooting victim was trying to leave the parking lot, these two young men came out. One of them chased alongside of the car and was shooting into the vehicle," said Lt. R. Willken with the Houston Police Department.
