Two Shot During Gunfight At Large Gathering In Houston

Two people were shot, including one critically injured, after gunfire erupted during a large gathering in southwest Houston Sunday night.

On November 1, 2026, at approximately 10:40 p.m., Houston police received multiple calls reporting a shooting near 9229 Richmond Avenue.

According to HPD Lieutenant Horelica, responding officers searched the area and located what they believed to be the original crime scene.

Minutes later, two separate vehicles arrived at a local hospital, each carrying a gunshot victim.

Investigators believe the victims were caught in the crossfire of a gunfight between two separate groups.

One victim was reported in stable condition, while the second was in critical condition and was being transferred by medical helicopter to another hospital.

Two witnesses interviewed at the scene described a large block party with approximately 100 people in attendance.

The witnesses said two gunmen began shooting at each other, sending people running for safety. One witness was wearing a Halloween mask, although it was unclear whether the gathering was specifically a Halloween party.

Police have not released descriptions of the suspected shooters.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Houston Police Department.

The investigation remains ongoing.
