Houston police have released surveillance video of suspects and a suspect vehicle wanted in the fatal shooting of a man at 12600 Brookglade Circle about 12:30 a.m. last Saturday (Oct. 12).

The victim, Oscar Gomez, 56, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The surveillance video is available on the HPD YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/bTx8AeTlB08.
