Houston's hunters for justice just got a fresh lead. Cops have dropped a composite sketch and video feed of the suspect's ride, a tip-off for anyone who might spot the guy who pulled the trigger on a woman chilling at her home on Thrush Drive last month, as per the Houston police. The bullet-sprayer is pegged as a black dude, roughly a quarter-century old plus some, sketched out with small dreads or braids - a thin man hoping to fade into the crowd.
The night of December 18, 2023, just before the stroke of midnight, gunshots cracked the quiet of Thrush Drive's block—6318 to be exact—when this woman, just 23, caught a bullet. She was rushed to hang on at the hospital, looking like she'd make it through, according to a press release by the Houston Police Department. The suspect dipped in what might've been a ride from the era of boy bands and dial-up internet, an early 2000s Honda Civic, filmed in grainy glory on the surveillance cam.
When the boys in blue got to the scene, courtesy of a call to 9-1-1 by the victim's quick-thinking neighbor, they found the woman wounded but alive; meanwhile, HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division's own Detective Z. Brumley is pounding the pavement, trying to piece the puzzle together. The motive's a ghost right now, nobody's spilling. But they're casting the net wide, hoping some good Samaritan's got the 411 that could close this case.
Any Houston folks who’ve got the scoop on this shooting, or anyone ready to talk, can hit up the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 – your words might be the weight that tips the scales.
