"We do believe he was seated in his vehicle when the shooting began," David Williamson, with the Houston Police Department, said. "We believe that it's more than one suspect that was involved in the shooting. There were multiple shots fired."

Strewn about the parking lot were several business cards. They were marked and processed as part of the crime scene.

"We're still determining where the cards came from. If they belonged to the suspects or the victim, or if they're unrelated altogether," Williamson said.

Police are interviewing witnesses and checking for surveillance video from nearby businesses.
