After more than a year looking over his shoulder, one of the suspects in a 2025 fatal shooting at a North Houston convenience store is finally in custody and waiting to be brought back to Harris County. Authorities say 20-year-old Cameron Ray was arrested in New Orleans on Friday after a multi-agency search. The shooting on May 11, 2025, left 16-year-old Davion Elzy dead. Paramedics rushed him from the parking lot at 13360 Northborough Drive to HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, where he was pronounced dead. The case remains open under incident number 061192825 as detectives continue to work the file.
Arrest In New Orleans Ends Year-long Search
Federal marshals and Louisiana State Police helped local authorities close in on Ray in New Orleans, and he is expected to be extradited to face a murder charge in the 496th State District Court, according to City of Houston News. The city release shared an Orleans Parish Prison booking photo of Ray and credited the U.S. Marshals Service and Louisiana State Police Troop NOLA with assisting in the capture.
Teen Suspect Charged Earlier
Investigators had already filed charges against another suspect, Carnell Anderson. He was identified in July 2025 and faces murder proceedings in Harris County’s juvenile system, the Houston Police Department reported. A judge in the 313th District Court signed an order that allowed police to release the juvenile’s name and photo while the investigation moved forward, according to a post from the Houston Police Department.
The shooting unfolded around 3:35 p.m. on May 11, 2025, when officers were flagged down in the parking lot of a convenience store at 13360 Northborough Drive. Responding units and detectives later found Elzy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics transported him to HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, where doctors pronounced him dead, according to KTRK/ABC13.
In a fourth public update on the case, city officials noted that Anderson was arrested on October 9, 2025, and that Ray’s capture in New Orleans followed months of follow-up work by HPD homicide detectives and partner agencies, City of Houston News reports. Authorities are still asking for tips that could help clarify a motive or lead to any additional arrests.
Legal Notes
Ray has been charged in the 496th State District Court, while Anderson’s case remains in the juvenile system, a split that affects possible penalties and transfer rules under Texas law. The Houston Police Department has emphasized that formal charges and any future court actions will be handled by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and the respective courts as the case proceeds, according to the Houston Police Department.
Investigators listed the incident number as 061192825 and urged anyone with information to contact HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS, a request local outlets have repeatedly highlighted since last summer, per FOX 26 Houston. Early coverage kept the suspects’ names in the spotlight as HPD sought public help and fresh leads.
Hoodline first reported on the July 2025 charging development. For background on how the investigation unfolded last summer, see the earlier coverage, Second Teen Suspect Charged. This fourth update adds the key new detail that one of the previously wanted suspects is now in custody out of state.
