HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A fight between two neighbors over where a vehicle was parked ended in gunfire, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

They found one gunshot victim. CPR was in progress when he was rushed to the hospital, where he died. Apparently, other neighbors witnessed the shooting. Investigators believe it escalated from something very simple.

The two neighbors live across the street from each other. The victim's name has not been released. The accused shooter had not been charged as of Tuesday night.
