What broader Houston crime reports show
A separate shooting reported by Houston Public Media on September 22, 2026, killed a 15-year-old Westfield High School student outside the Spring ISD campus in Spring; a 14-year-old was taken into custody in connection with that case. It was a separate incident, not a report about Chimney Rock Road.
Houston Public Media reported that preliminary HPD data showed nearly 27,000 reported violent crimes citywide in 2024, more than 4% above 2023. Those citywide figures do not provide shooting-specific totals or establish anything about this incident.
This is a developing story out of Houston, and Hoodline will update this article as the Houston Police Department releases additional information from the scene at 11911 Chimney Rock Road.
