A 17-year-old high school student was headed home from a Houston Astros game with his family Tuesday night when he was shot inside his car during an apparent road rage incident, according to police. The teenager, identified by local outlets as David Xavier Castro, remains on life support, despite initial reports that he had died, the Houston Police Department clarified Wednesday. Castro was one of two passengers in his father’s pickup Tuesday night when the older man “exchanged hand gestures” with the driver of a white Buick sedan, police said. The other driver followed Castro’s car onto the freeway, then fired several shots into the truck, hitting Castro at least once.
Police have not publicly identified a suspect, but are searching for a Black man driving a four-door, white Buick sedan with a sunroof.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the wanted vehicle is asked to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
I am shocked that they gave the race of the criminal.
