NOTE: Houston police said Scott is 24 years old, but in previous communication with his family, loved ones told ABC13 he was 23.
A second suspect, who has yet to be identified, is also wanted by police. Officials released surveillance photos of the unidentified suspect on Wednesday in hopes that someone might recognize him.
Houston police were dispatched for a shooting call on May 30 at about 11:15 p.m. at the Citgo gas station at 13100 Westheimer Road near Synott Road.
At the scene, officers found Scott inside his black Volkswagen, which was parked at a pump, with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance video shows Scott parked at the pump for about 15 minutes. Investigators said that's when the two suspects exited a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice. One suspect stood near the passenger door of the Caprice and fired shots at Scott's vehicle while the other suspect walked up to the driver's side door and shot Scott at close range, HPD said.

Family members told ABC13 the victim was a father to two young daughters.
"He has two kids. One is 5 and one is 2 years old. Two beautiful daughters who he loved to death, who he just went to see over the weekend. He was able to see his brother graduate. He was able to go see his mom and his kids. We didn't know it was going to be the last time," said the victim's aunt, Wanda Webb.
The victim's aunt is left demanding justice.
"We are going through a lot right now and it don't make no sense. It don't make no sense. So, we are asking for y'all to turn y'all's self in. Just turn y'all's self in, because y'all know what y'all did," Webb said. "Y'all gunned him down like he was a dog. He didn't deserve none of this, and all we ask is y'all turn y'all's self in. We want justice for him and we're not going to give up."
