A gunman ran off after a man was shot and killed in front of an Alief-area apartment complex on Monday night, according to police.

Then, investigators saw the suspect running away.

We are still waiting to get additional information from witnesses. We are also waiting for our homicide on scene to do a thorough investigation," Lt. J. Gamaldi said. "As of right now, we only believe we are looking for one suspect that's involved in this shooting and we are working on getting a good description right now.
