Homeowner hospitalized after being shot in neck by suspect while in garage in La Porte

LA PORTE, Texas (KTRK) -- A homeowner was shot inside his garage in a La Porte neighborhood Thursday morning, but there is no threat to the community, police said.

It happened around 6:20 a.m. on Corbin Crest Trail at Bay Landing Circle in the Morgan's Landing neighborhood.

According to police, the driver of a fleet truck shot the homeowner in the neck while the garage door was open.

The victim's wife said the door was open because her husband had just gotten home from work, and she was getting ready to leave.

A neighbor across the street tells ABC13 she woke up to the sound of a roaring motor.

When she looked out the window, it appeared that the suspect, Andres Hinojosa, was pacing around his truck.

The victim's wife said she peeked into the garage when Hinojosa opened fire.

She quickly retreated to protect their two children who were inside. She said when her husband made it back inside, he collapsed.

When police arrived, the suspect was standing in the yard with a gun in his waistband and items in his hand, authorities said.

Despite commands to drop what he had in his hand, the suspect refused to comply, La Porte Police Asst. Chief John Kruger said, adding that three officers ultimately got him on the ground and placed the man in custody.

Another neighbor's surveillance caught the whole tussle on video.

The suspect was treated for injuries and transported to the Harris County Jail.

The homeowner was flown via Life Flight to the hospital but was able to speak to officers.

His condition is unknown.

Police said the relationship between the two is still under investigation, but one theory is that Hinojosa may have had the wrong house.
