HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An eyewitness explained what they saw when a man opened fire on a busy road, right in the middle of the Wednesday morning commute.
One driver was shot and killed.
Because the man has not been arrested, the eyewitness asked to be identified only as Delilah.
She said she was heading to work on Buffalo Speedway near West Bellfort when a short, Black man with an untamed haircut started shooting randomly down the road.
She said he was wearing a yellow shirt with red writing and had on white or light-colored jeans.
“It was like something out of a movie,” Delilah said.
Around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, she got caught up in a crime scene.
“I was sitting at the light on Buffalo Speedway, and I initially heard three gunshots,” she said. “It kind of looked like he was just turning all directions and firing.”
The driver of a black SUV was hit. Houston police said the woman inside died at the hospital.
“It shocked me, because I kind of made eye contact with her,” Delilah said. “It was very traumatizing. I was shaken all day by this event.”
Investigators said the shooter got away in a car. Delilah said her commute through the area won’t feel safe again until he’s caught.
“I hope they find him too, because I had just dropped my daughters off to school,” Delilah said. “I’m glad they were out of the car.”
