"It looks just like a citizen is trying to get his car running and then a crook comes along and probably tries to carjack him and just does not care and shot him," said Dan Harris, HPD North Division Commander.

Officers say the suspect vehicle, a gray sedan, was later found on Creekmont.

According to authorities, the suspected vehicle was stolen out of Spring a couple of days ago.

Investigators say they are now reviewing surveillance video from a nearby church that captured the shooting.
