HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man is accused of shooting and killing another man, then fleeing from a home overnight in northwest Harris County, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies responded to the scene at 5730 Pebble Springs Drive at about 1 a.m. on Thursday and found a man dead with gunshot wounds.

Several teenagers were also found in the house, but the suspect shooter was not present.

According to preliminary information from Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the incident sparked after a man was kicked out of the home but returned overnight.

The suspect got into an argument with another man who lived at the home before shooting the man and taking off, the sheriff said.

It appears several people live at the home, ranging from young kids to adults.

Several people were also detained, the sheriff said.

Authorities said they have an idea who the shooter is, but they're investigating whether this was a murder or self-defense.

Deputies didn't immediately know if the suspected shooter permanently lived at the house.
