Investigators said when deputy constables arrived at the scene, they were initially responding to a shoplifting call. Authorities said they spotted two suspects in a dark-colored SUV.

“One of the suspects exited the vehicle and began firing at the deputies with a handgun. The deputies returned fire, striking that suspect and killing that suspect,” Sgt. Jason Brown with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies said the suspect has not been identified.

Brown said the second suspect, who was behind the wheel of the SUV, fled the scene. That person was not shot and did not fire at officers, he said.

Deputies did, however, say the vehicle matching the getaway car’s description returned to the scene.

According to KPRC 2′s Brandon Walker, deputies were seen questioning two people, but they were released and left the scene in that vehicle before the crime scene tape was dropped.
