Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff's Office were called to a gas station in the 5700 block of Root Road Thursday afternoon. When they got there, they found an injured driver in a white SUV, suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound.
The man was airlifted to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted that it was likely the man shot somewhere else, drove away and came to a stop on Root Road.
