In Houston, Texas, a 22-year-old man was taken into custody after allegedly shooting two teenagers he accused of stealing his vehicle. The man, identified as Addrian Nicolas Garcia, claimed he tracked down the teens and confronted them, leading to the shooting incident.
According to the Houston Police Department, the incident occurred around 5:50 p.m. on Tuesday in the vicinity of the 8200 block of Gulck Lane. Garcia claimed that his vehicle was stolen from his residence by the two teenagers, leading him to track them down and confront them.
Upon arrival at the scene, responding officers discovered two 15-year-old boys suffering from gunshot wounds.
