The attack occurred around 9:30 pm Friday local time on a group of Hispanic men in their 20s at a parking lot in a residential Houston neighborhood, Gonzalez said at a media briefing.
A video circulating on Twitter showed bloodstains on the ground in the parking lot and cars dotted with bullet holes.
“There were other vehicles that were staged there, and they were filming some type of music video when, all of a sudden, basically they were ambushed, we believe by individuals in cars and/or foot that fired shots into the parking lot,” Gonzalez said in the media briefing.
