Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the video was being filmed in an fice park parking lot by a group Hispanic males in their 20s, but the crime scene stretched over several blocks a north Harris County residential neighborhood. It’s unclear if the men shooting the video fired back.
“We believe they were ambushed by individuals in cars and/or on foot,” Gonzalez told the press. “This is a very serious situation. This is a residential neighborhood; a lot shots were fired, and we have an extensive scene out here stretching several blocks.”
He added, “We don’t know if there was a beef going on, or what exactly happened. That’ll be part the investigation.”
Authorities will review any surveillance footage in the area as well as the material they’d already shot for the music video.
