Shooter on the run after critically injuring man outside nightclub on Washington Avenue, HPD says

A shooting at a Houston nightclub left one man critically injured and sent the suspect fleeing into the night, police said Sunday morning. The incident occurred outside the establishment on Washington Avenue near Roy Street, where a physical altercation had begun earlier.

According to authorities, the victim was involved in a scuffle with an unidentified male in front of the club before pulling out a gun and shooting him. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire shortly after the fight broke out.

Houston's Mayor John Whitmire has been pushing for increased safety measures along the Washington Avenue corridor, which has seen its fair share of violent incidents in recent months.

Police are now urging anyone with information to come forward, either through the Major Assaults Division or Crime Stoppers. The suspect remains at large and is considered a person of interest.

The latest incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for safety in some of Houston's most popular nightlife spots. As authorities continue their investigation, one thing is clear: justice must be served to bring closure to the victim and his loved ones.

In related news, local authorities have once again called on residents to take precautions when visiting or living near areas prone to violent crime.
 
man... another shooting in houston ๐Ÿค• this guy's been pushing for more safety measures along washington avenue but i'm not sure if that's enough - it feels like the city's just shifting the blame from the lack of resources to the residents to take precautions themselves ๐Ÿ™„ we need concrete solutions, not just empty promises. and why do we always have to hear about these incidents before dawn? can't the authorities keep us updated 24/7 like that's how we're supposed to live now? ๐Ÿคฏ
 
๐Ÿ˜” Another shooting in Houston ๐Ÿšจ, a city already dealing with enough issues ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. It's getting to the point where you gotta be extra careful even just walking down the street at night ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ. Increased safety measures are needed ASAP ๐Ÿ’ฏ but it feels like we're seeing more and more of these incidents and not much is being done about it ๐Ÿค”. The lack of surveillance cameras in some areas doesn't help either ๐Ÿ“บ. It's all about finding a balance between freedom and safety, but right now it just seems like people are putting themselves at risk for a night out on the town ๐Ÿ’€.
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ just saw this on my feeds and I'm literally shaking ๐Ÿ˜ฑ one person critically injured at a nightclub in Houston?! That's so not okay ๐Ÿ’” can't believe what happened outside the club before it all went down... police are still looking for the suspect, hope they catch him soon ๐Ÿš” Fingers crossed the victim is gonna be alright ๐Ÿ’• and yeah, Mayor Whitmire should really push for more safety measures on Washington Ave, it's getting way too crazy there ๐Ÿ˜ฌ anyway, justice needs to be served ASAP ๐Ÿค
 
๐Ÿšจ just saw that shooting in Houston last nite its crazy how violence can pop up outta nowhere, like literally outside a club ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ฑ and now the police are asking ppl to come forward with info but the suspect is still on the loose... hope the victim gets better soon ๐Ÿ’”
 
๐Ÿ˜” just another night in houston where a life was almost lost over a stupid fight. it's like we're expecting this stuff to happen and are caught off guard every time. the fact that the mayor is pushing for more safety measures now seems kinda late, you feel? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ shouldn't we be doing more to prevent these situations from escalating in the first place? ๐Ÿ’ก just a thought.
 
Ugh, this is so sad! I was just thinking about how we're getting an essay on school shootings in class and now real life is showing us that it's still a major problem ๐Ÿค•. I feel bad for the guy who got shot, poor dude. Can't imagine what he went through ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And yikes, a nightclub? That's usually where you want to let loose and have fun, not worry about getting hurt ๐Ÿ˜ณ. The police need to catch this guy ASAP so justice can be served ๐Ÿ’ฅ. I hope the victim recovers soon, sending him positive vibes ๐Ÿ™.
 
Man, it's just crazy what's been happening in that Houston nightclub ๐Ÿคฏ. It's like, you'd think people would learn by now not to mess with each other, especially after something like this happens ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. And the mayor's all about increasing safety measures, which I think is a solid idea ๐Ÿ’ก. But at the same time, it's on everyone - the club owners, the patrons, the police - to be more vigilant and look out for each other ๐Ÿค.

It's just frustrating when you see things like this happen and there's no clear resolution in sight ๐Ÿ™„. The victim deserves justice, and I hope the authorities can catch that suspect soon ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And yeah, it's a good reminder to all of us to take precautions when we're out at night, especially if we live near areas with high crime rates ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
idk man... a shooting at a nightclub is super tragic ๐Ÿค• but like, what's the point in increasing safety measures if it's just gonna be another person with a gun doing the same thing? ๐Ÿค” the mayor's all about it but I'm like, where's the system failing them for real? ๐Ÿšซ shouldn't we be looking at why people are carrying guns in the first place and addressing that issue? ๐Ÿ’ฏ meanwhile, residents are just being told to "take precautions"... what does that even mean? like, should they just carry around a can of pepper spray too? ๐Ÿคฃ
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’” just saw this on the news and it's crazy how one minute you're vibin' with friends at a club and the next someone gets shot... I mean, Houston is supposed to be a welcoming city but sometimes it feels like safety is an afterthought ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I'm all for the Mayor trying to push for change, but more than just words are needed here ๐Ÿ“. The fact that a suspect is still on the loose is nerve-wracking... hope they catch this guy ASAP ๐Ÿš”๐Ÿ’ช https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/us/houston-nightclub-shooting/index.html
 
Ugh, just got out of a thread about this and I'm so over how they always do it... ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Can't a community have a conversation without someone getting hurt? This incident is a total bummer, especially with the suspect still on the loose. I mean, what's up with that? The authorities are all over the place, but they're not making it easy for us to get info either... ๐Ÿค” Like, who even knows where to start looking for tips or something. And don't even get me started on how long it takes for these threads to die down, and everyone's just left wondering what happened next. It feels like no one's really talking about the root causes of this stuff, just kinda glossing over it... ๐Ÿ˜’ Can we just have a decent conversation without someone getting shot? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
man this is getting outta hand in houston ppl need 2 take care of each other instead of turnin it into a gun fight ๐Ÿค•. i mean i feel bad for the guy who got shot but at the same time we gotta wonder if there were other options, like de-escalatin or callin the cops before things escalate ๐Ÿ˜’. and can't they just put in some security cameras already? it's not that hard to prevent these kinda incidents from happenin again ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. and now the mayor is pushin for more safety measures... about time i guess, we need our city 2 be a safe space 4 everyone ๐ŸŒŸ
 
Man, it's crazy how one wrong move can lead to someone else getting hurt so bad ๐Ÿค•. This shooting is a harsh reminder that our actions have consequences, and it's up to us to think before we act. If only the guy involved in the fight had talked things out instead of resorting to violence, who knows what might've happened? ๐Ÿ˜” It also makes me think about how we need to support each other, especially those living near areas with high crime rates. We can't just sit back and watch; we gotta look out for our neighbors ๐Ÿค. And it's a good reminder that safety is a collective effort โ€“ we all need to be mindful of our surroundings and report any suspicious activity. It's not just about the police doing their job, but us as a community coming together to prevent more incidents like this from happening. ๐Ÿ’ก
 
omg just read about this shooting at that Houston club ๐Ÿค• so sad... think it's getting out of hand with all these incidents happening in one area. we need better security measures ASAP, like cameras and more cops on the beat ๐Ÿ’ก ugh wish there was a way to prevent stuff like this from happening in the first place ๐Ÿ™
 
Ugh I'm still shaking my head about this ๐Ÿคฏ... like what's going on with Houston right now? Can't a guy just go out and have a good time without getting shot?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The layout of Washington Avenue is already super sketchy, all that congestion can lead to some bad stuff. And now they're saying the suspect is still on the loose?! ๐Ÿšจ Can we get an update on what's being done to address this? I'd love to see a plan in place for improving safety measures along that corridor... like, proper lighting and security cameras would make all the difference ๐Ÿ’ก. And can we please talk about the importance of proper bulletproof vests? ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
 
๐Ÿšจ just heard about this insane shooting at that Houston nightclub ๐Ÿคฏ, one guy is lucky to be alive after being shot in front of the club! can't believe this keeps happening ๐Ÿค”, it's like they say 'protect and serve' but what's the point when you're too scared to do so? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ mayor Whitmire's pushing for more safety measures which sounds good but has anyone actually taken these suggestions seriously yet? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ 5/10 thinking on this one... ๐Ÿค” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/houston-nightclub-shooting-incident/ ๐Ÿ‘‡
 
๐Ÿšจ just saw this on socials and it's wild... a shooting at that Houston nightclub is crazy ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, I've been to Washington Ave plenty of times and it always seems like there's something going down ๐Ÿ“บ. The mayor needs to step up the safety game for real, you feel me? ๐Ÿ’ก Can't have people just running around with guns ๐ŸŽฏ. I'm no expert but it's clear that justice needs to be served ASAP โฐ. Local authorities gotta get their act together too ๐Ÿšจ. Anyone got any info on who the suspect is or if they were caught? ๐Ÿค”
 
can't believe this keeps happening in houston... people need to look out for each other, especially at nightclubs... safety measures are a must, imo. the mayor's been trying to address this issue for months now and it's sad that they still have to warn residents about violent incidents in popular areas... maybe increasing police presence or having more CCTV cameras would help deter these kinds of incidents ๐Ÿค•
 
Man, this is just getting crazy in Houston. I mean, you'd think that with all the new developments and safety measures being put in place, we'd see a decline in these kinds of incidents. But nope, it's like they're just popping up left and right. And now one dude is critically injured... it's like, what's going on?! ๐Ÿคฏ

I'm not saying that nightlife spots aren't fun or anything, but we gotta take responsibility for our own safety, you know? It's like, when you're out with friends, be aware of your surroundings and look out for each other. Don't just zone out because the music is blasting... trust me, I've been there too.

And yeah, the mayor's been pushing for more safety measures, but it's not just about throwing money at the problem, it's about addressing the root causes. Like, what's going on in some of these neighborhoods that's making people feel like they gotta resort to violence? It's a tough question, but I think we need to have some real conversations about this stuff... ๐Ÿ’ก
 
can't believe this is happening again in houston ๐Ÿค• safety should be a top priority for our city, especially at nightclubs where people are supposed to be having fun and letting loose ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜Ž. why do these things keep happening? it's like we're seeing more and more violence in our communities and it's getting old ๐Ÿ˜”. the mayor's efforts to increase safety measures along washington avenue are a good start, but we need to see real action being taken ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ช. can't we just go out to have a good time without worrying about getting shot or hurt? ๐Ÿคฏ it's not like that's too much to ask for ๐Ÿ‘Ž
