HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An 18-year-old woman and her 20-year-old sister were identified as the victims of a deadly shooting in the Friendswood area Monday night, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
The sheriff identified Redha Sayed, 18, as the woman who was shot and killed during an argument with a man. Her sister, Mahenoor Sayed, 20, was also shot and critically injured in the incident. She remains hospitalized in serious condition.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family,” Gonzalez said.
The family tells KHOU 11 News Redha was working to get a real estate license and Mahenoor was a pharmacy tech at a nearby Walgreens.
The shooting was caught on a neighbor's surveillance cameras. The homeowner didn't want to be identified, but says he's sickened with what he witnessed.
"It's an image in my brain I'm never going to forget for the rest of my life," said the homeowner. "It's right in front of your home where you lay your head and think you're safe and you never know."
The man wanted in connection with the deadly shooting was found in Willis Tuesday morning, the sheriff said.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect was found just before 7 a.m. inside of a car in a parking lot outside of a grocery store along Interstate 45. When the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Violent Criminal Apprehension Team approached the man, he shot himself.
The man was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to the Montgomery County deputies who are investigating the shooting. Deputies did not open fire on the man, and none were injured in the incident.
"The guy was heartless, a coward," said the homeowner.
Harris County deputies will continue handling the Friendswood investigation.
