HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Three men were shot after a fight broke out at a Galena Park basketball court Sunday night, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

The sheriff's office said the shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. on Sunday at the Alvin D. Baggett Community Center on Keene Street.

Gonzalez said one man was pronounced dead on the scene, and two other men were found nearby.

The sheriff said those two men are currently in the hospital in critical condition.

Detectives said the man who died was 19 years old. The two injured men are 20 and 22 years old, officials added.

Gonzalez said they believe the fight broke out before a vehicle approached, and more than 20 shots were fired.

"This is a dangerous thing that happened," he said. "Anybody could have been hurt."

The sheriff said he's unsure whether or not all of the shots came from the vehicle or if there was an exchange of gunfire.

Officials said there are no suspects or known motives at this time.

"We need the public's help," Gonzalez said. "We ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers of Houston."

Gonzalez said they're working to learn if there were any additional victims of this shooting.
