HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A 23-year-old man died after being shot inside a Bombshells restaurant along the East Freeway late Monday night, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim has been identified as Gabriel Aguirre, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. The suspect, Pedro Zavalz, 24, has since turned himself in and is charged with murder.

The shooting happened at 11:45 p.m. inside the restaurant just west of Freeport Street. 

Deputies said the two men began arguing inside the restaurant. One of the men pulled out a gun and, according to witnesses, he shot the victim at least twice before taking off.

Deputies said the man who was shot died inside the restaurant. Investigators looked at security video from inside of the restaurant for more on the shooter.

Deputies said there weren’t many people inside the restaurant when shots were fired, but investigators said the people who witnessed the shooting knew both men.

The owner of this Bombshells location said the restaurant will be closed on Tuesday for the sake of employees who witnessed the shooting.
