HOUSTON — Houston police are investigating a shooting that left one man dead at a motel Friday night in southeast Houston.
Officers responded to the scene at the Smile Inn around 7:30 p.m. Friday in the 8700 block of Gulf Freeway. They found the door open to a room and the man dead of apparent gunshot wounds.
Police said the victim, identified as a man in his 40s, was shot multiple times in the chest and leg. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
