A man who was caught urinating in a north Houston street was shot dead by a resident who took exception to the crude act.
Both the victim and the suspect drew guns on each other Thursday night after a heated exchange between the man and a large group of residents.
The man who was relieving himself - later identified as 20-year-old Lester Fuentes-Buezo - was shot multiple times, Houston police said.
Police didn't say if Fuentes-Buezo fired his weapon.
It's unclear exactly how many residents were involved in this confrontation, but at least one of the suspects left the scene and is still in the wind Saturday morning and another went into a home, Fox reported.
Another person admitted to police he was involved he shooting and is cooperating with the investigation, according to Fox.
The fatal exchange happened around 10:25pm in the 9000 block of Bunny Run Drive, where responding officers found Fuentes-Buezo's body in the street with multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Fuentes-Buezo's death was one of three shootings in a 24-hour span in Houston.
Shortly before 9am Thursday, a man was shot while driving on Vance Street but is expected to live.
Around 12:40am Friday, a 15-year-old girl was fatally shot on South Green Road.
In recent months, many Texas police departments have expressed concern that shootings will continue to become more frequent with the state's 'constitutional carry' law, which was passed by the state legislature in May.
The law, which just needs the governor's signature, would allow anyone to carry a concealed handgun without a permit.
Gov. Greg Abbott hasn't officially given his signature but promised to do so while the state legislature debated the bill in April and May.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Only three shootings in a 24-hour span. It was sure quiet in Houston during that time.

When you have to piss, you have to piss. I think there was more to it than that.
