Gregory Duane Shead Jr., 24, was shot and killed outside the Bowlero bowling alley on Bunker Hill Road in Houston on August 14, 2022. He had been with family, including his girlfriend, mother and aunt, when an altercation began between two groups. He was shot in the back and then in the head.

The shooter was identified as 31-year-old Dionate Desmond Banks of Dallas. Banks initially claimed self-defense, but surveillance video and witness testimony disputed that account; the court found Gregory was not holding a firearm and was attempting to break up the fight when he was shot. Banks was convicted of murder following a six-day trial and sentenced to 63 years in prison.

Gregory was born September 9, 1997, in Baytown, Texas, to Gregory D. Shead Sr. and Medisha Bush. Family and friends describe him as kind-hearted and say they continue to honor his memory. Does anyone have information or memories of Gregory to share that might help others understand the person he was?
