More than seven years after a fatal shooting in Houston, police have made an arrest. Jeremiah Bryant, 39, has been charged in the 2018 killing of Michael Lawson, 46, who was shot while walking with his son on Clarke Springs. The Houston Police Department said the shooting happened early on August 15, 2018, and Lawson was pronounced dead at the scene. Bryant was arrested on Thursday.
At about 1:05 a.m., Michael Lawson and his son were walking to a store when shots were fired from a brown or burgundy four-door vehicle, possibly a Toyota Camry. Lawson was killed, while his son was not injured. After years of investigation, Bryant was identified as the suspect and is now awaiting trial, according to the Houston Police Department.
"Mr. Lawson and his son were walking through their neighborhood toward a convenience store near the above address when a brown or burgundy four-door vehicle, possibly a Toyota Camry, approached them," as stated by the Houston Police Department. Houston police said investigators later identified Bryant as a suspect, leading to his arrest and murder charge. He is scheduled to appear in the 180th State District Court.
