HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One person died in a double shooting that unfolded at a northwest Houston apartment complex on Monday night.

Houston police were called to an apartment complex at 8600 Pitner Road around 7:30 p.m. At the scene, they found one man shot to death.

Minutes later, a second 911 call came from 3900 Hollister Street, just a couple miles away, HPD said. A second gunshot victim was found at the scene. He was taken to the hospital in stable condition and is expected to be OK.

Investigators learned that the man found shot on Hollister Street was injured at the original Pinter Road location but fled before calling for help.

Police said the two victims were fighting with someone in a pickup truck outside of the apartment complex when someone inside the truck opened fire.

Investigators were looking for witnesses and surveillance video in the area.

HPD did not provide any information about a possible suspect.

Before Monday, the ABC13 Neighborhood Safety Tracker counted five homicides in the last 12 months in the Spring Branch-Schwartz Park area where the Pitner Street death unfolded.
