Houston police on Tuesday named 20-year-old Arentheis Winn as a person of interest in a deadly November 28, 2025 shooting that left a man dead and a woman wounded in a southwest Houston parking lot. Investigators say Winn is wanted for questioning, and no arrests have been announced as detectives continue to chase new leads tied to the late November case.

What investigators say

The shooting happened at about 4:45 a.m. on Nov. 28, when two men allegedly walked up to a brother and sister as they were leaving a nightclub in the 11100 block of South Post Oak Road, according to KTRK/ABC13. Officers arrived to find both siblings with gunshot wounds. The man later died, and the woman was hospitalized in stable condition. Detectives said early on that witness accounts and nearby video were key to getting the investigation moving.

Earlier evidence and the public appeal

In December, the Houston Police Department released surveillance video that showed three males in the parking lot, including one in an orange-and-yellow sweater, and asked the public to help identify them, according to a department news release. Local reporting that amplified the appeal came as detectives canvassed nearby businesses for more footage. Authorities say the encounter in the lot started with a short verbal exchange before shots were fired.

Who investigators are looking for now

In a social media post on Tuesday, the Houston Police Department released a name and image of the person they want to question, identifying him as Winn, 20, and urging anyone who recognizes him to contact HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers via @CrimeStopHOU. The department noted in the post, which appears on X, that being labeled a person of interest is not the same as being charged, and that the investigation is still very much active as tips come in. Officials also stressed that any phone video or dashcam footage from the South Post Oak corridor around the time of the shooting could help move the case forward.

Authorities have repeated that tips can be crucial. Early reporting noted officers were called around 4:47 a.m. and found both victims suffering from gunshot wounds, and detectives say they are continuing to review video and run down credible information from the public. Anyone with information about Winn’s whereabouts or about the Nov. 28 shooting is asked to call HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
