HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man died Monday after being shot during an apparent robbery at a north Harris County motel, according to authorities.
Around 2 p.m., the Harris County Sheriff's Office said it got a call about a shooting at a motel in the 200 block of Bammel Westfield Road. When authorities arrived, they found a man in his 40s with a gunshot wound to the torso. He had been shot in the doorway of the room he was staying in.
Authorities said he was in severe distress and was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Witnesses told authorities they saw the suspect leave the motel in a vehicle. Authorities said a vehicle matching that description was involved in a crash that turned into a shooting at Richey Road and I-45. The victim in that incident drove themselves to an area hospital and is expected to survive.
A short time later, authorities were able to locate a vehicle that matched the description of the one involved in both shootings. After stopping the vehicle, 36-year-old Jesmond Magee was taken into custody. On Tuesday, Magee was charged with capital murder.
