HOUSTON – It was a violent and bloody Sunday night in Houston that continued into Monday morning with several reported crimes and at least eight people killed.

SUNDAY NIGHT

On Sunday, around 6:30 p.m., Houston Police officers said they were called to a double homicide on Louisiana Street, where they found a man and a woman suffering from severe head trauma. Investigators said both men appeared to be homeless.

About a half hour later in northeast Harris County, there was a crash on E Sam Houston Parkway and Little York where two young men died.

They were described as family members aged 17 to 19.

Later that night, shortly after 9 p.m., investigators said a taco truck driver struck and killed a pedestrian on Lawndale, near Wayside. The driver then surrendered to police custody.

Around the same time, police responded to a hit-and-run on Fannin Street in which three pedestrians were struck, one of whom died.

Finally that night, around 11:30 p.m., HPD said two people drove to the hospital after a shooting on Holly Hall Street near NRG Stadium.

A third person was also found and taken to hospital. It’s unclear what led to the shooting, but investigators said all three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

It happened in the 8900 block of Gulf Fwy, near Hobby Airport. Surveillance video from the property shows the shooter firing more than 10 rounds into the victim’s car.

Two people were also shot around 2:45 a.m., police said, outside a Gulfton nightclub. One person died and another was taken to hospital after being shot in the legs.
