HOUSTON – The search for a suspect is underway after police said a man was fatally in northeast Houston Sunday.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting at 5301 Collingsworth around 11 p.m.

When police arrived at the scene, they located a man in his 20s that had been shot several times. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
