HCSO looking for suspects in fatal Monday-morning drive-by shooting on Eastex Freeway feeder

An investigation is underway after a 19-year-old was found dead inside a car that was riddled with bullet holes on the Eastex Freeway feeder road Monday morning, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies arrived at the 12900 block of the northbound feeder road at the intersection of Lauder Road and the Eastex Freeway at about 9:15 a.m.

The victim, identified as 19-year-old Jusnz Joseph, was found dead in the driver's seat with multiple gunshot wounds, according to HCSO.

HCSO provided an update that the incident was the result of a drive-by shooting.

Officials said someone in a dark-colored SUV or crossover vehicle approached the victim's car at the intersection with Lauder Road and fired several shots into it before fleeing the scene.

ABC13's SkyEye was over the scene where officials were searching the red-colored Cadillac sitting in the middle of the road.

Live images showed the car with bullet holes in the front and back windshields, and along the roof above the back rear window, which was shattered.

Officials did not give a suspect description, nor did HCSO say if there was a connection between the victim and the suspects.

"We don't have a suspect description of those guys yet," Sgt. Jason Brown with HSCO said. "We are still in the process of reviewing video in the area. We got some pretty decent video of the actual shooting, so we are in the process of trying to follow that vehicle as it goes down the road trying to get some better views of that vehicle."

HCSO said they do not have any indication of whether this was road rage but said they are reviewing footage of the shooting.

"It doesn't really appear to be road rage, but again that remains to be determined," Brown said. "It possibly could be or it could be something that is targeted toward this person so time will tell as far as that goes."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Houston's Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477) or the sheriff's office at 713-221-6000.
