Desean Nichols-Reese, 19, was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital by Life Flight but he died early Wednesday morning, HCSO said.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — The gunman who shot and killed a man Tuesday night in northeast Harris County was still on the run a day later.

The victim was shot at least five times around 9:30 p.m., according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. He was found in the street on Greenglen Drive near the Beltway.

 Desean Nichols-Reese, 19, was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital by Life Flight but he died early Wednesday morning, HCSO said.

Investigators are now working on possible leads from witness reports. One witness said they saw someone running on Green Glen around the time of the shooting.

"It was said he went eastbound and then turned back around and came back westbound out of the neighborhood, fleeing back on John Ralston Road," an HCSO investigator said at the scene.

They also learned the victim had been in the roadway talking with someone in an unknown vehicle right before the shooting. They don't have a description of the vehicle or its occupants or a motive for the shooting.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston or the Harris County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit at 713-274-9100.
