The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the death of a teenage individual who was dropped off unresponsive at a hospital in northwest Harris County, as announced by Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

Sheriff Gonzalez took to social media on Wednesday seeking information from the public regarding the case. Deputies responded to Houston NW Hospital located at 710 FM 1960 Road West around 3 p.m., where an unidentified male believed to be between the ages of 15 and 17 was dropped off by a woman accompanied by two men, all of whom fled the scene in a white car.
