HPD looking for gunman who injured 6 after shooting at SW Houston after-hours bar

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Houston Police Department is searching for a gunman who injured six people following a shooting at an apparent after-hours club in southwest Houston at around 3 a.m. on Sunday.

Assistant Chief James Skelton with HPD said officers responded to reports of shots fired at the Latinas Sports Bar in the 6400 block of Hillcroft.

When police arrived, at least six men were wounded and taken to the hospital. Officials said that at least 4 of them were in critical condition.

Details on what led to the shooting are unknown, but HPD said they are searching for either a black Toyota Corolla or Camry that two Hispanic men were driving at the scene. Officials also said the surveillance video captured showed people running for cover once shots rang out.

HPD sent a post regarding the two suspects in question who were involved.

Police believe the two men were involved in an argument that escalated. One of them was captured on camera, firing a gun toward the entrance of a club that should've been closed.

HPD is working actively to shut down these clubs in the city.

The club was found to be serving alcohol at the time, which is illegal to do past 2 a.m. in Texas unless the establishment has a late permit.

"Establishments like this within our city contribute to crime, so we are targeting these locations and we will shut them down. It harbors DWI's and assaults, and this is exactly what we saw here tonight," Skelton said.

An hour later at a different club on the opposite side of town, it was a similar story. One man leaving a club along the Gulf Feeway near Bellfort was shot and killed after an argument.

"I don't know specifics of the club at this time, how it operates -- the hours -- but happened at 3:56. So, I think it's an after-hours club, " Detective. Sharp with HPD said.

HPD says this investigation remains ongoing.
