3 men dead after shooting outside shopping center in Alief, police say

HOUSTON — Three men were killed in a shooting outside of a shopping center in the Alief area, according to Houston police.

It happened just after 5:30 a.m. Sunday in a parking lot off Beechnut Street near Wilcrest Drive.

According to HPD Assistant Chief Hatcher, authorities got calls about three men who were down in the parking lot. When they arrived, all three men were pronounced dead at the scene. Hatcher confirmed that there had been several shootings in that parking lot in the past.

"There's been multiple instances at this location," Hatcher said. "We don't know why, but there has been a lot of activity in this parking lot."

Hatcher said there is a nightclub in the parking lot, but they're not sure if the shootings are related to it in any way.
