Harris County Precinct 5 constables are asking Cypress residents to help identify a woman who pulled a handgun during a fight among teenagers in the Yaupon Ranch area. Surveillance footage released by the constable's office shows the woman holding the gun under her arm, then pointing it at a teenage boy as an argument unfolded in the street on March 27. In the video, she appears barefoot, wearing a white shirt and red pants. Investigators say they are counting on neighbors' tips to track her down.
Constables Release Footage, Ask Neighbors to Watch
Precinct 5 shared the clip with investigators and urged residents to keep an eye out for the woman, according to CW39. The outlet reported that constables said the footage came from the precinct's own cameras and described the incident as a weapons disturbance that brought deputies into the neighborhood. Officials have not announced any arrests.
What the Video Shows
The clip shows a woman with a handgun tucked under her arm while teens argue nearby, then raising the weapon and pointing it at a male teen, according to video posted by the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office. The constable's post, along with broadcast descriptions, notes that she is barefoot and dressed in a white shirt and red pants, details investigators say could help someone recognize her. Precinct 5 has asked anyone who thinks they know who she is to speak up.
How To Help Investigators
Investigators are asking anyone with information to email Det. Laurense Flores at [email protected] or send tips through the constable's online tips page, according to CW39. The precinct's release does not say whether the woman is believed to live in the area or have a direct connection to the teens involved. Authorities are reminding residents not to confront her themselves and to call 911 if they encounter an immediate threat.
Neighborhood Context
Yaupon Ranch and nearby neighborhoods in northwest Harris County have seen multiple weapons related incidents in recent months, including a shooting in the same subdivision last fall that left three people injured, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. Local law enforcement agencies have been working with nearby school districts to monitor social media driven gatherings that sometimes turn into physical fights. Community leaders and parents say they are looking for better ways to keep those confrontations off neighborhood streets.
