HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man was shot to death and another is fighting for his life at a hospital after Houston police said some sort of disturbance escalated in the parking lot of an apartment complex in west Houston.

When they arrived, police said they found one of the men dead with a number of gunshot wounds. His identity has not been released.

The other victim, a 32-year-old man, was also found shot and rushed to an area hospital.

Investigators later learned that a suspect took off in one of the victim's silver 2012 Kia Optima. There was also a second suspect who allegedly fled on foot.
