HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The city of Houston faced a long night of violence with at least four shootings taking place across the area.

It began in southeast Houston at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Police were called to a shooting in the 6300 block of Allegheny, where officers found 48-year-old Kevin Graves in the driver's seat of his car with a gunshot wound to the head.

According to police, the shooting happened after a verbal argument between two or more other people. One of the men began firing multiple shots down the street and one of the bullets went through Graves' window, hitting him in the head.

Deputies who were working at a nearby nightclub were able to get Graves' out of the car and he was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The suspects involved in the scene are described only as Black men who fled the scene in a four-door silver sedan.

Anyone with information is urged to contact HPD at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
