21-year-old man shot to death outside north Houston apartment complex, mother says son was ‘set up’—

HOUSTON – A 21-year-old man was shot and killed outside a north Houston apartment complex Thursday night, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said the shooting happened just before midnight at the Marybell Apartments located in the 22900 block of Imperial Valley Drive.
Authorities said a tenant called 911 after hearing multiple gunshots coming from outside the complex. When patrol deputies and EMS crews arrived, they found a 21-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Investigators said first responders attempted lifesaving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told investigators they heard a barrage of gunfire overnight before seeing emergency crews performing CPR on the victim outside the apartment complex.
Homicide detectives spent the early morning hours interviewing neighbors, collecting evidence, and reviewing surveillance video from the property to determine exactly what led up to the shooting.

Investigators are also searching for a possible vehicle that was seen leaving the area around the time of the gunfire.
The victim’s mother, identified only as Yolanda, told investigators she believes her son may have been targeted and set up before the shooting.
“The young lady ended up taking his life,” the victim’s mother said. “Whoever she was with … she stood over him and shot him 29 times.”
The mother told investigators several people had been taking photos with her son shortly before the shooting happened.
So far, authorities have not released any suspect information or identified a possible motive in the case.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
