Three teens die during shooting at Tierra Del Sol Apartments laundry room on Cook Road in Alief area, Houston police say

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An investigation is underway after three teenagers were killed during a shooting in southwest Houston on Tuesday.

The Houston Police Department said the shooting occurred at the Tierra Del Sol Apartments on Crook Road around 6:45 p.m.

When officers arrived, they investigated the complex’s laundry room and found three people shot.

Two teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene and a third was taken to the hospital, where he died.

Assistant. Chief Alvaro Guzman said the two teenagers who died at the scene were inside the laundromat when a group of three people argued with them, which led to a shootout.

The third teenager who died in hospital is believed to have been with the group.

Guzmán said that all those involved are believed to be teenagers and that they are looking for two persons of interest. HPD said there is no threat to the public.

Eyewitness News spoke with a man who said he heard gunshots before he left for church.

“I heard the gunshot. It was very loud. When I heard it, I thought, ‘Oh, what is that? Maybe (because it’s) Election Day, it’s just a celebration.’ I turned off the lights and tried to see what was happening,” the man told ABC13.

If you know anything about this case, authorities urge you to contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division at (713) 308-3600.
