HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities are investigating after a man was found shot to death in a vehicle in southeast Houston on Thursday, just less than two weeks after a 16-year-old was killed in the same area.

Houston Police Department officers responded to an apartment complex at 5900 Selinsky Road near Sesame Street.

A man who'd been shot was found dead inside the vehicle, according to police.

An ABC13 crew at the scene saw crime scene tape blocking off the apartment parking lot.

It's unclear how the shooting happened or if police are looking for a suspect.

On May 6, a 16-year-old was also killed on Selinsky Road while he was in a parked car with his mother.

Police believe the suspect in that shooting drove in front of the parked car and fired at the mother and son.

Police have not said whether the two shootings are related.
