Officers responded to a report of a shooting at a convenience store at the above address and found a male suffering a gun shot wound. Responding Houston Fire Department paramedics transported the victim, later identified as Mr. Pettway, to Ben Taub General Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. A second male suffered a graze wound and was treated and released at the scene.

Investigators learned that a fight broke out inside of the store, which led to a suspect producing a firearm and firing multiple rounds into the store. Pettway and the other male were struck.

Further investigation identified Hatton as the suspect in this case and, on Thursday (August 3) he was charged for his role in the incident. Hatton remains at large.
