Officers responded to a shooting at the above address and found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.  Houston Fire Department paramedics transported him to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Further investigation determined two suspects exited a vehicle and robbed and shot the victim.  The suspects, described only as black males, then got back into the vehicle, driven by a third person, and fled.
HPD Westside Patrol Crime Suppression Team officers located the suspect vehicle nearby and as they were investigating one suspect got into the vehicle.  Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, however the driver refused and a vehicle pursuit ensued.  The suspect then crashed the vehicle near the intersection of the 610 South Loop and Scott Street.
