HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Police Department believes it knows who shot a woman in a neighborhood off Old Spanish Trail on Friday evening, but it didn’t have the suspect in custody.

Police confirmed they were searching for a man accused of the shooting that unfolded in the 2800 block of Renshaw Street in the Gulfgate Riverview/Pine Valley area.

Police told ABC13’s Luke Jones that they had been at the scene since about 5 p.m. but couldn’t provide any other details, including the suspect’s identity.
