GALVESTON, Texas – Police in Galveston are searching for a suspect after a man was found shot to death inside a car Saturday evening.

It happened just before 7 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Avenue N 1/2 and 18th Street.

Police responded after getting reports of multiple gunshots being fired in the area. They found a man in his late 20s inside the vehicle.

EMS arrived at the scene and pronounced the man dead at the scene.

Right now, a suspect is not in custody and the investigation is ongoing.

There was no description of the suspect at this time. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Trey Rusk submitted the following story along with this article.

After Hurricane Ike I was volunteered by the Task Force to surveil this area due to a significant increase in  criminal activity.  I hid my U/C pickup truck in the shadows with windows down listening and watching for thieves and murderers. 

Just before dawn a Galveston PD unit and an ambulance stopped a block East of me. There was a body thrown from the Seawall with a slashed throat. My boss pulled up and wanted to know what I heard or saw. I told him all I heard was mosquitos all night long. 

Has it occurred to anyone that the victim might have been there before we started the operation? Turns out I was wrong. Time of death showed it was during the operation. I never heard a thing and the crime scene wasn’t in my line of sight. 

A fisherman saw the blood and called the cops. 

I sure got the business at the operation briefing! 

Rest in Peace.
