PEARLAND, Texas (KTRK) -- A man was shot to death Saturday night in what was initially believed to be a robbery with shots fired.

It happened on Broadway near Jamison Landing.

That person was detained on the scene, but it wasn't clear if an arrest was made.

There was no word on what led to the shooting.

Part of the road was blocked for a time while police investigated the incident.
