Troy Jefferson Jr., a 35-year-old man from New Orleans, died after being shot on November 14, 2022, in the Spring area of Texas and later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital. He was the son of Troy Sr. and Ann M. Jefferson, father of six children — Armaude Richard, Troy III, Tyler, Jamarion, Tyrell, and Jahlissa Jefferson — companion to Leila Richard, and brother to Troval, TroyAnn, Trodell, Tromeka J. Dyer, and Tronesha Jefferson.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a meeting arranged as a buy/sell for marijuana; an attempted robbery of another individual during that meeting resulted in the shooting. Two teenagers, Jerdon Jones and Lloyd Lewis, were charged in connection with the death, and authorities also arrested Theron Myles on a hindering apprehension charge for allegedly misleading police about the suspects’ whereabouts. Additional arrests have been reported and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office remains involved as the investigation continues.

Does anyone in the Spring or New Orleans area have information about the meeting or the people involved that could help investigators?
