HOUSTON -- Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old Hurricane Katrina evacuee who had been wanted by Houma, La., authorities on a murder warrant.

Houston police said they didn't know Sunday if the shooting of Cory Chevell Stovall was connected to his Louisiana warrant.

Stovall was shot and killed about 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the courtyard of a Houston apartment complex. Police say they have not established a motive. They said in a news release that it did not appear that Stovall was the victim of a robbery.

Two Katrina evacuees are being questioned in the death, but no charges have been filed.

I wonder if it was a Texas or a fellow NOLA boy that dropped the hammer on him?

How long does it take to establish residency? It's been a year already.

I really don't know. Generally, their kids are in school here, but they voted in the last NOLA election.

We still have somewhere between 90,000 and 150,000 in Houston.
