HOUSTON — Houston police are trying to find a gunman and determine a motive after a deadly shooting at a gas station on the southwest side early Monday.
Police were called to the 10900 block of Beechnut at about 12:40 a.m. They found a male victim with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head.
The victim, later identified as 37-year-old Curtis Johnson, was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance and was then airlifted to the medical center in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead.
