HOUSTON – Police are looking for a driver who hit two people, killing one of them, outside a party in southeast Houston.
Investigators said a man was walking on Kassarine Pass and Dieppe Street at about 1 a.m. Sunday.
“We were told by witnesses that there was some kind of party that was taking place here. It was a large gathering of people, and our victim was an attendee at one of these parties,” said Sgt. Barrow with the Houston Police Department.
They said a driver in a red GMC truck was going at a “high rate of speed” and hit the man.
The victim died at Ben Taub Hospital.
Houston police later said the driver also hit another person before hitting the victim, but they had minor injuries.
