HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One person is dead and two others were injured after three different shootings in 12 hours across the Houston area.

One of the three shootings happened around 6 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 6 and Memorial Drive in west Houston.

It is believed he was there with friends, but surveillance video shows his car leaving shortly after he was killed.

A few hours later, around 9 p.m., a second person was shot during a fight at an apartment complex in northwest Houston. Police say there is a history of disturbances between families who live at the apartments on Pinemont and Hollister, but the person shot is expected to survive.

The third shooting happened around 12:20 a.m. Thursday in southeast Houston. According to police, a man who was sitting outside of his home was shot by someone driving by in a car. Three people were reportedly inside a gray Impala driving by on Burma when at least five shots were fired. The victim was hit in the leg and is expected to survive.
