Houston homicide figures

Houston Police Department’s April 2025 crime report lists 95 citywide murders year to date through April 2024, according to the department’s citywide crime-comparison report. That historical murder count is not a homicide rate and, by itself, does not show how the rate has changed in recent years or describe this shooting; HPD publishes its official figures in its crime reports.

FOX 26 described its report as developing. The available account did not identify those involved or detail the circumstances of the shooting or any potential charges.
