A person of interest has been detained in connection with the death of a 2-year-old boy found inside a stolen SUV Tuesday after his father was shot to death hours earlier during a meetup, according to the Houston Police Department. Houston police tweeted the update that the individual was being questioned. The post did not mention if this was the same man seen on the surveillance video released Tuesday night. This chain of events unfolded shortly before 2 p.m. on El Camino Del Rey Street near Chimney Rock Road, which is in the Gulfton area. Houston police said the 38-year-old shooting victim met up with the suspect for unknown reasons. The two got into some sort of argument and that's when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the father multiple times, according to police. He died at the scene. The suspect jumped into the victim's SUV and took off, police said. More: https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/baby-found-dead-inside-vehicle/285-4bc588a4-2deb-4bd7-ba04-0f8c271963f0
