HPD Homicide Division  Sergeant M. Holbrook and Detectives S. Jimenez, T. Jackson and J. Roscoe reported:

Mr. Hogan and a female friend were in front of Hogan's residence at the above address when a black 4-door sedan with two males inside stopped in front of the house.  The male passenger got out of the car and began arguing with Hogan before pulling out a gun and shooting him.  Both suspects then fled the scene in the sedan, possibly a Chrysler or Cadillac.

The suspects were described only as black males.  The driver was dressed in all black clothing.  The shooter was wearing a white or gray T-shirt.
