The victim has been identified as Reginald Scott, 36, of 13023 Newbrook Drive. He suffered a gunshot wound to the back and was pronounced dead at Memorial Hermann Hospital.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant J. W. Belk and Officer M J. Miller reported:

The victim and a friend were talking through a locked security gate at 10100 Sugar Branch when a tan, four-door vehicle, possibly a Toyota Camry, pulled alongside the curb. A suspect, described only as a black male, got out of the rear passenger side of the vehicle and approached the victim. After making demands, the suspect then shot Scott in the back with a 12-gauge shotgun. The friend, who was inside the locked gate, ran through the corridor into the inner complex to safety after witnessing the suspect make demands from the victim. The driver of the Toyota was described only as a black male.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
