At about 8 p.m. Friday, Houston police responded to a call and found Axel Turcios laying on the ground of an apartment complex where he’d been shot, according to Houston Police.

“[H]e was approached by two Hispanic male suspects. One or both suspects fired shots and struck Turcios,” police stated in a press release. “It is believed the suspects then took an item(s) from him.”
