HOUSTON – A man is fighting for his life after a shooting in northwest Harris County.
According to authorities, the man was found lying in the middle of Fry Road near Plantation Grove Trail around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Deputies said they were flagged down by a woman in the area and upon further investigation, they found the man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
"We're not sure if he was shot here or dumped at this location," said Sgt. Dennis Wolford. "That's under investigation at this point."
The man had to be transported to a hospital via Life Flight in critical condition.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, they got a report about another shooting that happened in the area around the same time.
"We do know there was another shooting in the area around the same time at a different location not too far from here. We're trying to see if they are related,” said Wolford. "We will be canvassing the area when it gets daylight, but right now it's early in the investigation. But we hope to get some leads and get a break and solve this case."
Authorities believe the man is between 17 and 20 years old. His identity has not been released.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 71-222-TIPS.
