HOUSTON — Houston police are asking for help identifying a suspect in connection to a METRORail shooting.
Surveillance footage shows a possible suspect after a woman was shot Wednesday night by a man she was trying to hide from, according to METRO officials.
The 27-year-old woman was shot at the stop on Griggs Road and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. While she remains in the hospital, police are looking for a man in connection to the shooting.
METRO Police Chief Vera Bumpers said the woman who got on the train was looking for a safe space from the gunman, who she knew. Police said he eventually found her as the train was on a layover at the Palm Center Transit Center.
The gunman may have gotten away on a bicycle after the shooting, according to police.
