'He's going to have to grow up with that,' authorities said.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Police officers discovered a young boy, believed to be between three and four years old, inside a car where a man had been shot to death in west Houston Friday night.
Officers said the victim's foot was still on the vehicle's brake when his body was found on Fern near Country Place, just south of the Katy Freeway."He's going to have to grow up with that," said Detective Trey Coleman with the Houston Police Department. "I know the officers are over there, trying to lift his spirits, check on him, and take his mind off of it, but definitely a devastating thing to have that happen," Coleman said."The perpetrator possibly knew him," said Coleman."It's not some random act of violence or anything like that."
A witness saw a man walking down the street, according to officers, but a suspect hasn't been identified.

Teenagers on State Boards of Education—Why Including the Voices of Young Women Is EssentialEleni Livingston and Rana Banankhah, both 17 years old, are voting members of their states' board of education. They help decide high school graduation requirements, determine teacher qualifications and develop state student assessments. They also bridge the gender gap in education leadership—since women make up only 31 percent of school district chiefs.
