A suspect has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred on Houston's West Little York Road early last month, as per a report from the Houston Police Department (HPD). Twenty-five-year-old Deleon Delvontaye Davis is the man facing murder charges for the death of 28-year-old Damien Harris, the incident taking place on May 6 at around 5:25 p.m., according to cityofhouston.news. Harris was found shot multiple times in a parking lot, with the HPD Homicide Division detailing that paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene.
The investigation, steered by HPD Homicide Division Sergeant C. Lamont and Detective A. Herrera, initially took off with eyewitness accounts and scene evidence hinting that Harris and the suspect may have argued earlier that same day, a conflict which ultimately escalated when the suspect unleashed a hail of bullets on Harris before he took to the wheel of his vehicle, fleeing into the anonymity of Houston's sprawling environs. Following the release of the surveillance photos on May 7, which showcased an at-the-time unidentified suspect and a vehicle, diligent detective work led exclusively to the indictment of Davis, who was charged last Wednesday, May 29.
As of the latest update, Davis remains at large, his whereabouts uncharted in the wake of the tragic incident, his image circulating from a March 2024 booking photo accompanying official police statements. The call from law enforcement rings out to the public, leaning on any individual with knowledge of Davis's present location to come forward—urging them to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or, for those wishing to retain their veil of anonymity, to converse confidential whispers with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
