HOUSTON, TX – A late-night drive-by shooting outside a nightclub in southeast Houston on Sunday has left two people dead and 15 others injured, according to the Houston Police Department.
One of the victims killed has been identified as Paul “Junebug” Stevenson, the owner of the club and a well-known local barber.
The second fatality was a 21-year-old woman, whose identity has not yet been publicly released.
The shooting occurred shortly after 11:45 p.m. in the parking lot of a club located near Dixie Road and Heffernan Street.
According to Assistant Police Chief Adrian Rodriguez, a black four-door sedan pulled up and multiple rounds were fired into a crowd of people who were waiting to enter the venue. The vehicle fled the scene heading down Dixie Drive.
One victim died at the scene, while the second was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Several of the injured victims were transported by private vehicles, while others were treated on site or by EMS and taken to area hospitals.
Police initially reported seven injuries, but that number was revised Monday to a total of 15 survivors, all of whom are currently listed in stable condition.
The victims include:
- Eight males, ranging in age from 17 to 52 (ages 52, 21, 19, 19, 19, 18, 17, and 17)
- Seven females, ranging in age from 14 to 21 (ages 21, 21, 19, 18, 18, 18, and 14)
Authorities have not released a possible motive for the attack and say the circumstances leading up to the shooting remain under investigation.
Detectives are currently reviewing surveillance footage and plan to interview victims once their medical conditions allow.
“This was a senseless act of violence that affected innocent lives,” said Assistant Chief Rodriguez. “We are committed to finding those responsible and bringing justice to the victims and their families.”
