Houston police are searching for a suspect who is responsible for the fatal shooting of a 90-year-old man who was run over in SW Houston.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Police are looking for the man they say fatally shot and ran over a 90-year-old man outside a southwest Houston assisted living facility Saturday afternoon.

Police confirm the victim is a veteran who lived at Lone Star Living in the 10600 block of Westbrae Parkway.

Those who knew him told ABC13 that he served in the Navy.

Investigators say they reviewed surveillance video, which showed a young man approaching the victim at around 12:45 p.m.

In the surveillance video, the two are seen talking when police say the suspect began assaulting the victim.

Police said the suspect then shot the victim before getting into the victim's car and running the victim over.

The victim later died at the hospital.

Police confirm they found the victim's vehicle at an apartment complex in the 22500 block of Dunlap Street, about three miles from the initial scene.

At this point, they have no leads on the suspect, who they believe was acting alone.

Officials confirmed Sunday that the suspect is between 25-30 years old.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact HPD's homicide unit at 713-308-3600.
