Murray was meeting family members who were getting off the bus when a fight broke out, police said.
According to investigators, Murray attempted to defend his family members when the suspected gunman came up and shot Murray. The suspect then ran off.
"Something just told me to look out of the window and I saw a young man with a gun in his hand and he was shooting the gun," a witness told KPRC2.
"There was an argument between a couple of people that started a few days ago, and it came to a head today," Detective Justin Russell, with the Houston Police Department, said.
