The shooting stemmed from an argument that was broken up before being escorted outside of Spivey's Uptown. After they stepped into the parking lot, a second argument ensued, and two unknown suspects pulled out guns and started shooting, police say.

Investigators say the suspects, described at that time only as one black man and one Hispanic man, then fled the scene.

Anyone with information in this case or on the suspects' identities in the photos is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
