A girl who was involved in the murder of a Lamar High School student in 2018 has been found guilty, as reported by KHOU 11. The victim, 18-year-old Delindsey Mack, who had recently transferred to Lamar High School due to gang threats, was lured out of school and shot seven times. Keona Mouton, who was 16 at the time of the crime, was convicted as an adult for her role in the murder after she was said to have lured Mack, on whom she knew he had a crush, into the fatal trap.

The gunman, identified as Kendrick Johnson, and getaway driver, Dave’on Thomas, received prison sentences for their parts in earlier trials; Johnson himself was subsequently given a life sentence after being deemed responsible for multiple killings, as mentioned in an article from ABC13, which highlights his notably ruthless track record and propensity for violence, prosecutors arguing Johnson had killed several individuals and targeted others at the funerals of his previous victims. The prosecution claimed that Johnson, who was the impetus for Mack's murder, did not simply end Mack's life but rather executed him even as he lay bleeding, symbolizing a ruthless continuation of urban violence that uses our streets and the digital realm as a theater for its grisly exhibitions.

Mack's tragic demise stirred profound distress within his family, with fears that escalated until the arrests; Mack's grandmother, Dell Tatum, disclosed in an interview with KHOU 11 that "Poppy," as his grandson was affectionately known, was slated to graduate only a month following his untimely death. Despite Delindsey's portrayal on social media as a gang adherent, a depiction that likely marked him for his untimely end, Mack's family and Pastor D.Z. Cofield pointed out that he was far from the hardened persona he projected online, instead Cofield remembered him as more of an inadvertently entangled and largely innocent "Baby Huey," a kid of softer constitution thrust by social circumstance into proximity with harsher realities.

The second gunman's identity remains a mystery, and the public is urged to contact Houston Crime Stoppers with any relevant information, following a statement from ABC13 that highlighted ongoing efforts to apprehend the individual; the consequences of a gang conflict, painted in brutally honest strokes by the district attorney's office, echo in the stark reality that Johnson viewed murder as "sport" and reflects a blatant disregard for lives as pawns in a wider antagonistic urban chess game.
