A drug transaction that went bad ended with one person fatally shot in a Houston parking lot on Tuesday afternoon.
Chief Troy Finner said a 25 to 30-year-old Black male was found lying in the parking lot with apparent gunshot wounds.
Finner said a DPS Trooper, who was working in the area on a different operation, was the first to the scene to locate the victim and performed first-aid on the victim. Finner said investigators believe that the shooting was a result of a drug transaction that went bad.

Finner stated that two suspects ran off southbound from the initial shooting scene, and one of the believed suspects involved was located at a nearby hospital. During a briefing on Tuesday afternoon, Finner addressed young males, "Make better choices. Actions that you take, don't let it be an action that leads you to getting shot, or getting hurt, or getting killed out here. There's alot of jobs out here. I encourage each and every one of you there's help out there. Get a job, you don't have to engage in criminal activity selling drugs."None of the businesses in the area were said to be involved.
