A deadly drive-by attack in Houston, Texas killed a five-year-old child this weekend.

According to Houston police, another eight-year-old child was shot dead and injured in two shots at the intersection of Greens Point around 1 am on Sunday.

The children were in the back seat of the car their mother was driving when the dark car passed the stop sign where the family stopped.

Police say two suspects in the car fired at their mother's car and beat both children.

When police arrived at the scene, the mother quickly left the intersection and rushed the children to a nearby hospital after the shooting, so no witnesses or victims could be found. ..

About 15 minutes later, police received a call saying that the two boys had just arrived at the hospital.

A 5-year-old child was sentenced to death in the hospital.

According to Chandra Hatcher, HPD Assistant Chief, the 8-year-old is expected to recover completely.

The law enforcement agency has not determined whether the mother was injured.

"It's unclear if the complainant was the intended target of the shooting, or if something else was happening in the area at the time," Hatcher said.

"I don't know the motive. There is no suspicious explanation other than two black men who may be in a dark car."

Police Is investigating the site and collecting surveillance footage to support the investigation.

They are asking anyone who has information about shooting to call HPD's murder department orcrime stopper.
