GALVESTON, Texas — The Galveston Police Department held a press conference Thursday morning to discuss the latest details in the search for three men connected to the shooting of a hotel security guard. The victim’s family confirmed his condition remains critical.

The victim — identified as Phillip Molis — was walking the grounds of the San Luis Hotel in the 5200 block of Seawall Boulevard around 10:15 p.m. Monday when he noticed three suspicious men in the venue’s parking lot.

The men then ran away.

Molis was taken to the UTMB Health John Sealy Hospital where he underwent surgery.
