Detectives are looking for answers after a man was shot and killed at an east Harris County apartment complex late Monday night.

Witnesses heard gunshots ring out around 9 p.m. in the Timber Run Apartment complex in the 13000 block of Woodforest Boulevard, according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Ben Beall. Paramedics rushed to the scene and found 24-year-old Jordan High nearly lifeless from a gunshot wound to the head, Beall said.

They took him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Beall said detectives recovered a handgun on the scene, although it is unclear if that gun belonged to the shooter or the victim.

Police are trying to figure out what led to the gunfire. Witnesses told police they didn’t hear any arguing or yelling prior to the gunfire, Beall said.

Beall said High's identification card indicates he does not live in the Houston area.
