02.24.19 Two Stories: Gunshot Victim and Police Pursuit


On Friday, February 22nd at 11:10 p.m., Baytown Police responded to the 1600 block of Garth Road in reference to a shots fired call.   A search of the area yielded negative results. 
Approximately 45 minutes later, a male arrived at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital with a gunshot wound to his foot and calf areas. Officers arrived at the hospital and the victim was uncooperative. He initially told officers that he was shot at the Power Fuel gas station on Garth and Park. Officers were dispatched to that location but could not find anything to substantiate the victim’s story. 
A check of the victim’s residence revealed one drop of blood near the back door of the victims apartment.
