Watch Eyewitness News and ABC13 originals around the clockThe Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating two scenes - one where a motorist was shot and another where deputies opened fire and killed a chase suspect - that may be connected to each other.
Nineteen minutes later, at 2:33 p.m., Gonzalez posted information about a traffic stop at FM-1960 and Interstate 45 that led to a vehicle chase involving four suspects. The sheriff said the suspect driver led deputies to the 9700 block of Bertwood Street, about 20 miles away, in Houston's East Little York/Homestead area, where the suspects took off on foot after driving into a ditch.
The wounded suspect was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries, Gonzalez said, adding that no deputies were hurt. In a later update, authorities said the suspect died.
