HPD Seeks Public Help After Fatal Bauman Road Shooting, Releases Suspect Vehicle Photo

A 24-year-old man was shot and killed Sunday morning on Bauman Road near East Sunnyside Street, and Houston police are now asking the public to help identify a gray 2007-2012 Nissan Altima captured on surveillance camera that investigators believe is connected to the killing.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant R. Montalvo and Detective D. Higgs reported that officers responding to a shooting call around 11:15 a.m. on March 15 found the man lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. His identity has not been released; the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences is handling identification pending notification of family members.

According to investigators, the victim was walking northbound on Bauman Road when someone got out of the Altima and opened fire multiple times before the vehicle fled the scene. The car carries a distinctive dent around the back right wheel frame, which HPD highlighted in the surveillance photo released Monday.

Anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has information about the case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (713-222-8477). No arrests have been reported.
