One killed, one wounded in gunfight behind home
A west Houston man preparing to leave on a fishing trip was wounded in a gunfight that killed an unidentified assailant, police said.
Marco Antonio Carillo, 21, was in good condition at Ben Taub Hospital on Wednesday after he was shot behind his home in the 5100 block of Eigel near Reinerman about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday.
"He stepped outside to put some equipment in his truck and noticed a suspicious vehicle circling the neighborhood," said homicide Detective Kevin Carr.
An man dressed in black, who may have been riding in the suspicious Jeep Cherokee, attacked Carillo as he was about to latch his back gate. Carillo was shot in the leg and fell but shot the assailant several times, police said. The Jeep was not found at the scene.
