HOUSTON -– A young man was taken into custody early Wednesday following a chase in southwest Houston, but the search for his three accomplices continued.


It was just after 4 a.m. when officers started chasing four male suspects on foot in a neighborhood near W. Orem Drive and Buffalo Speedway. Officers with the Houston Police Department said they lost sight of the suspects and later heard gunshots in the distance.


In an interview with KHOU 11 News, a homeowner said he was the one who opened fire. He said he went outside with his wife to check on his garage and spotted two of the suspects running through his backyard.


“I went out there, and I opened the door to make sure nobody was in there, and I locked it,” said the man. “I started to come back in and she was starting to go back in, by the porch area, and they came out. I turned around and fired at one -- going back that way -- and fired at one going back the other way. I don’t know if I hit them or not.”


“They won’t be back,” said the man’s wife. “They’re not stupid enough.”


One of the men was later located and taken into custody. Police used dogs and a helicopter to search for the others. As of 7 a.m. they had not yet been located.


HPD said the young suspects are likely juveniles. It wasn’t known why they were running from police.


Officers said they initially tried to stop the young men for traveling at a high rate of speed in a pickup truck. All four jumped out of the truck, and the foot pursuit ensued.
