HOUSTON — A teen is still in critical condition after getting shot in Houston’s Fifth Ward a couple of weeks ago, and police released surveillance video of the vehicle they believe to be involved.
According to Houston Police Department officials, the shooting happened on the afternoon of July 30 — a Wednesday.
The 16-year-old victim was riding an electric scooter along Oats Street near the intersection of Solo Street when a white SUV pulled alongside him.
