3 teens killed in shooting in laundry room at Tierra Del Sol Apartments on Cook Road in Alief neighborhood, Houston police say

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An investigation is underway after three teenagers were killed Tuesday in a shooting in southwest Houston.

The Houston Police Department said the shooting happened at the Tierra Del Sol Apartments on Crook Road around 6:45 p.m.

When officers arrived, they searched the complex’s laundry room and found three people shot.

Two teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene and a third was taken to hospital, where he died.

Asst. Chief Alvaro Guzman said the two teenagers who died at the scene were in the laundry room when a group of three people got into a disagreement with them, leading to a shooting.

The third teenager who died in hospital is believed to have been part of the group.

Guzman said everyone involved is believed to be teenagers and they are looking for two persons of interest. HPD said there was no threat to the public.

Eyewitness News spoke with a man who said he heard gunshots before leaving for the church.

“I heard the gunshot. It was so loud. When I heard that one, I was like, ‘Oh, what is that? Maybe (because) is) Election Day is just a party.’ I turned off the lights and tried to see what was happening,” the man told ABC13.
