3-year-old boy dies days after being shot in the face, HPD says

Houston police said Aiden Solomon died Sunday, three days after he was shot in the face at a house off Ozark Street in Houston's South Side.

HOUSTON — According to the Houston Police Department, a 3-year-old boy who was shot in the face last week died last weekend.

Aiden Solomon died Sunday, HPD said.

Editor's note: The videos in this article are from reports and updates at the time of the shooting, before Aiden died.

At the time of the shooting last Thursday, investigators said they were working to find out what happened.

HPD officials said the 3-year-old boy was shot at a home off Ozark Street, which is near the intersection of Old Spanish Trail and the South Freeway.

It's unclear how the child was shot and, at the time of the shooting, police said they were still looking for the gun that was used in the shooting.

Once officers got to the scene around 5 p.m., they said they got conflicting statements about what happened. HPD Lt. Larry Crowson said there were three adults and three infants in the home at the time.

One of the reports they got was that the child was in the living room by himself when they heard a gunshot. The conflicting statements, according to police, were about who was in what room when the gun went off.

The child was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, police said.

Officials said charges could be filed depending on what investigators find.

Here's the update that was provided at the scene:
