HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man is dead after he was found shot in a crashed car in northeast Houston Saturday night, according to police.

Houston Police Department officers were called to a disturbance at 7227 Jensen Drive near Vance Street at about 8 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found a vehicle crashed with a man inside who had been shot.

According to HPD, bystanders and paramedics tried to help the man, who was transported to the hospital but later died.

The medical examiner's office identified the man killed as Keith Johnson.

Investigators believe the shooting happened as both vehicles were driving but are unsure what exactly led to it.

HPD said there is a possibility it was road rage incident, but it appears both vehicles came out of an apartment complex, so it's possible something else could have sparked the shooting.

Authorities said they only have a vague description of the suspect's car, which is a blue sedan.
