A man is in critical condition after he was shot by his friend’s ex-boyfriend in southwest Houston early Monday, police said.

The man arrived around 2:30 a.m. at his friend’s apartment at South Drive and Wilcrest. He was intoxicated, and the friend asked him to leave, said Det. Greg Black of the Houston Police Department.

Instead, he began damaging her car, and she called her ex-boyfriend to come help.

During some sort of confrontation, the ex-boyfriend shot the man in the head, Black said.

He was taken to the hospital, and the shooter fled.
