One person is dead and several other wounded after a shootout and possibly related drive-by late Sunday in southwest Houston - one a shootout between cars driving on Bissonnet, the other a drive-by on a nearby residential street. Police are investigating a possible connection between the two.

The chaos started around 10 p.m., when witnesses reported seeing a shootout between two cars driving along the 11100 block of Bissonnet.

One car lost control, crossed the median and crashed into trees, Houston police Lt. Larry Crowson said. At least two wounded people ran away from the car. Both were later taken to the hospital and are expected to survive.

Then, about a mile away at a home in the 11800 block of Spring Grove, 60-year-old Ibrahem Lawal was shot to death while sitting in his garage.

"It appears there was some kind of a drive-by shooting," Crowson said at the scene. "We're not sure if this is connected to the shooting on Bissonnet. Our homicide investigators are on both scenes trying to investigate to see if we can connect the two shootings."

But later in the day, police confirmed they believed the fatal shot came from a nearby shootout.

At this time, there are no known suspects.
