Lt. Larry Crowson with the Houston Police Department said it happened a little after 4 p.m. at the shop in the 1000 block of Almeda Genoa Road.
According to Crowson, the customer came into the shop upset about how long the shop was taking to work on a truck he had there. The owner of the shop got into an argument with the customer which eventually became physical, and a fight broke out.
Crowson said during the fight, the son of the owner came out with a pistol and shot the customer. The customer died at the scene.

Right now, police are talking with witnesses and looking for security camera video. They are also speaking to the son of the owner who they say fired the shots.
Once the investigation is complete, Crowson says they will turn over what they have to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office who will determine whether charges are filed or if the case goes before a grand jury.
