A man was shot and killed early Saturday morning in southwest Houston near Westpark Drive and Gessner Road, police said. The Houston Police Department received the call around 6:15 a.m. HOUSTON – A fight in a parking lot preceded a fatal shooting early Saturday near a southwest Houston club, according to Houston police. Officers were called around 6:15 a.m. to the area of Westpark Drive and Gessner Road. The victim ran after being shot, then collapsed and died at the scene, police said. Friends told KPRC 2 the victim was 18. Police have not officially identified him. The shooting happened as people were leaving Club Majic, where Puerto Rican artist Bryant Myers was reportedly performing overnight.

Friends of the victim raised questions about whether a security guard fired the shots, but that claim has not been verified. Detective Kyle Stringer told KPRC 2 that security guards are among those being interviewed. Police said seven or eight witnesses were being questioned. Surveillance video obtained by KPRC 2 from a nearby meat market shows a group gathered in the parking lot, partly blocked from view by a pole. The footage does not clearly show what happened, and investigators are working to determine how the fight and shooting unfolded. Police said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident. No suspect has been
