Masked suspect kills man on apartment porch near Blalock and Kempwood in Spring Branch

Just before 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Houston police responded to a shooting-in-progress call near Blalock Road and Kempwood Drive in Spring Branch. Officers found a man dead on the scene. Preliminary information said the victim was sitting on an apartment front porch when a masked suspect spoke with him, then pulled a pistol and shot him at least once. Police later found the suspect hiding in bayou brush with a broken ankle after he apparently jumped a fence while fleeing; he was detained. Motive and victim identity were not released.
