The bullets started to fly on Fondren and Bissonnet just before 10pm, but officers found a man with a gunshot wound to the head at Beechnut and the Southwest Freeway.
Police believe the victim's friend was attempting to take him to the hospital, but their SUV was filled with bullet holes and broke down in front of a gas station.
At last check, the man with the gunshot wound to the head was still alive.
Police have not arrested any suspects.
