March 14, 2005 -- Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of a man in the 9400 block of Main about 2:30 a.m. today (Mar. 14).

The victim is identified as Quinton Marion Kelegon, 21, of 6714 Grey Oaks. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at Methodist Hospital.

One suspect was described only as a black male with braided and beaded hair who friends know as A.D. He was driving in a burnt orange Ford Expedition. Witnesses said the suspect frequents "Carrington's Billiards" at 9585 South Main.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant J.H. Binford and Officer R.A. Swainson reported:

Kelegon and three friends had gone to Carrington's Billiards and were in the process of leaving the parking lot when an argument began between Kelegon and the driver of another vehicle (Expedition). Kelegon was a passenger in his friend's car. During the argument, the suspect driving the Expedition retrieved a pistol. At that time, Kelegon and his friends tried to get away from the suspect and his friends. Both vehicles traveled at high rates of speed from the parking lot and drove along the 610 South Loop near Meyerland and then onto the 610 West Loop. During the attempt to escape the suspect, someone in the Expedition fired shots at the car Kelegon was riding in at two separate locations. One location was along the West Loop and the other was near the intersection of Westridge and Main.

When Kelego'*s friends exited the 610 West Loop in the city limits of Bellaire, they discovered Kelegon had been shot in the head. They then rushed him in the vehicle to Methodist Hospital.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
