HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman was shot to death in northeast Houston late Sunday night, and police say a possible love triangle may be to blame.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.



The shooter and the ex-boyfriend were interviewed by investigators. They have not been arrested.



Houston police say the case will be referred to a Harris County grand jury.



The name of the woman who was killed has not been released.
