HOUSTON — Gunfire at two separate Houston-area birthday parties this weekend resulted in two people being fatally shot and three others being injured, officials said.
Around 50 people had attended the party at a home in Jacinto City, located about 10 miles east of Houston, when shots were fired after an argument, authorities said. “Unfortunately, two young men lost their lives at a birthday party for, again, what we’re looking at is probably over just some petty verbal altercation,” Ritchie said.Gonzalez said investigators are still trying to determine if the two victims were partygoers or if they were passersby who were shot by those at the party.
The third time the neighbor came over to complain at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, he had a gun, said Houston Police Lt. T. Riley.
