HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Days after 28-year-old Bryson Walton was gunned down outside of a convenience store in northwest Harris County, authorities have released photos of the alleged suspect wanted in the case.

On Tuesday, authorities released images of the man believed to be tied to the case. The suspect is described as a Black man, about 25 years old, who sports twists or braids, authorities said.

Walton was shot and killed on Dec. 10. Authorities said that at about 6:15 p.m., Walton walked out of the Primos Food Store at 14180 SH-249 North and was walking to his car when he got into an argument at the front of the store.
