25-year-old victim, shooter knew each other before deadly shots fired, Montgomery Co. deputies say

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A 25-year-old man's body was left lying in a driveway on Wednesday in the wake of a shooting in a Porter neighborhood.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said the victim was shot multiple times during an altercation in the 20100 block of Bitter Root Drive.

According to MCSO Specialist Travis Wood, deputies were called at about 2:30 p.m. regarding an assault with a firearm, leading them to find the victim, who died at the scene.

Based on preliminary information, Wood said the victim may have been interacting with another man he knew before he was shot. The suspect, whose relationship with the victim is not immediately known, took off in a gray 2010 Pontiac four-door sedan with dark limousine tinting all around the vehicle and a red Pontiac emblem on the hood.

There is no danger to the public despite the search for a suspected killer, Wood said.

Deputies also couldn't say whether the suspect or victim lived on the street, but Wood said the victim lived in the neighborhood.
