HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A 3-year-old man was shot to death Thursday morning in what authorities said may have been a road rage incident on Beltway 8 in northwest Harris County.
It happened Thursday morning near Tomball Parkway and Hollister.
A passenger, in a vehicle, who has not been identified as 30-year-old Donnie Williams, was struck and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Authorities on the scene said someone in a black SUV crossover was on the Beltway and opened fire on the car with the victim inside, striking the vehicle door three times and another shot went through the passenger window.
The driver of the car was able to get off the tollway and flag down a law enforcement officer who was nearby.

Deputies blocked off the Hollister while the investigation was underway.
