HPD searching for gunman after 17-year-old killed in east Houston

Police said they got reports of people in two cars shooting at each other as they drove through a neighborhood.

HOUSTON — Houston police are looking for the gunman who shot and killed a 17-year-old man in east Houston Thursday.

Police said they got reports of people in two cars shooting at each other as they drove through a neighborhood near the intersection of Indianapolis Street and Uvalde Road.

By the time officers arrived, they found the victim still inside his car, which had stopped in the front yard of a home.

He was later identified as Antonio Castillo Munoz.

A woman who identified herself as Castillo's sister said three children were in the car with him when he was shot -- her 6-year-old son and two little sisters.

It's not clear if the victim knew his killer or if this was some kind of road rage incident.

Witnesses saw a red sedan leaving the scene.
