Police are investigating after a father was shot and killed while walking to the store with his son in southwest Houston.
Authorities say 46-year-old Michael Lawson and his son were on their way to a convenience store at Clarke Springs Drive near Reddy Lane around 1:10 a.m. Wednesday when a small, brown, 4-door car, possibly a Toyota Camry, pulled up.
Someone inside the car fired four shots, killing Lawson.
Witnesses told police they saw the car leaving northbound from the scene.
Lawson’s son is in his late teens. He was not hurt.
According to officials, Lawson and his son lived in the area. Neighbors say it’s uncommon for shootings like this to happen.
Authorities are checking to see if there is any surveillance video that may have captured the crime.
