According to a Houston Chronicle report, investigators with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Delacruz and Lozado were involved in a minor traffic accident at the intersection of Aberdeen Dr. and Highland Blvd., that turned into a verbal disturbance.

Deputies said Delacruz followed Lozado home, got out of his vehicle with a semi-automatic handgun, and shot Lozado in the head and torso.

According to a KPRC report, Lozado’s family members who were there trying to comfort Jose Lozado after he’d been shot, said Delacruz pointed his gun at them, before speeding off in his pickup.

Deputies found Delacruz not far from the shooting scene, waiting in his pickup.
