Police searched for two possible suspects, last seen heading south towards the TSU campus.
One of the suspects is described as thin with short dreadlocks wearing a white T-shirt and dark colored shorts and a white backpack.
The second suspect is described as a heavyset Black male with dreadlocks last seen with a white shirt and a black backpack.
The lockdown at TSU has since been lifted.
HPD says surveillance video shows the two suspects approaching the man in his car, shooting him before taking off.
