HOUSTON—A man was ambushed and shot multiple times in his driveway in north Houston early Saturday morning.

Darwin Roberson, 51, was killed when two men walked up the victim’s driveway around 1:30 a.m. with large caliber rifles and opened fire, according to police. Roberson died at the scene.

Investigators say the number of shots fired are anywhere between 13 and 16 rounds.

Police are looking into the possibility that the homicide was a result of an argument over money.

"We want to know why. We want to know why. That’s the important thing, is why," said Roberson’s sister Swan Lexington.

Roberson lived at his family’s house at Turner and Edgeworth and his sisters say that he worked as a mechanic his entire life.

Police are still seeking information from witnesses about the appearance of the suspects and the suspects’ vehicle.

1 injured in accident; Police find marijuana

JASPER- by Steve Stewart

Drug charges are expected to be filed on a Jasper woman, who was injured in a single vehicle accident on Sunday morning. Police say the crash occurred at about 10:30 on Highway 96 North, in front of The Skating Palace.

According to Officer James Hopson, 19-year-old Monica Fall was northbound in a 1996 Dodge Neon when one of her tires went off the edge of the pavement. Hopson said the driver overcorrected, which sent her car into the median, where it overturned.

Fall suffered a foot injury, and she was transported to Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital by a crew from Alpha Rescue EMS.

Officer Hopson said he found Fall's purse on the ground next to the overturned car, and inside the purse was a bag of marijuana.

Hopson said that due to Fall's injury, no charges will be immediately filed, but he plans to obtain a warrant for her arrest at a later date.
