Houston, Texas (KTRK) – A 14-year-old was shot and abandoned by friends in Southeast Houston overnight, according to police.
Houston police officers responded to 8400 Park Place Boulevard near Detroit Boulevard shortly after 1 a.m. and found a 14-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the neck.
When the teen was loaded into an ambulance, he told officers he was riding in a car with his friends.
“He said one of the suspects ran into the car, shot him, and shot him in the neck. He got out of the car quickly, I think, out of fear, and what not. But his friends took off and left him there,” Lt. R. said. “He started running down the road until we got there. Finally got there and we gave him some help.”
HPD said the teen was expected to survive.
Investigators are urging friends who left the victim behind to contact them so they can provide information in hopes of identifying the shooter.
