HOUSTON — A security guard shot a man to death Monday at an apartment complex in northeast Houston, according to police.
The shooting happened in the 9600 block of Crofton Street around 3 p.m.
Police said a security guard saw two men involved in a shootout, according to police. One of them was on foot.
"The security guard attempted to intervene to stop the suspect in the vehicle, and shot the suspect multiple times," police said later.
The security guard "felt like he was threatened" by the man in the vehicle and opened fire, Houston police said.
Police said they found the man dead inside the vehicle.
Homicide investigators are talking to the security guard as well as witnesses. They're also looking for surveillance video of the incident.
A preliminary investigation indicated the male suspect was involved in a previous drive-by shooting, which is what the security guard was initially investigating.
The evidence will be presented to the District Attorney's Office to see if charges will be filed.
