Kourtney Cortez DAngelo Peete, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on August 10, 2022, in Cypress, in northwest Harris County. The shooting occurred during an ongoing dispute with a neighbor; Peete was shot in the chest, taken to a hospital and pronounced dead upon arrival.

The alleged shooter, a 22-year-old man from the same neighborhood, was located at a nearby home and surrendered. He told investigators Peete approached him with a knife and he fired in self-defense. Surveillance video reportedly showed Peete armed with a knife, and the suspect handed over the handgun used. Authorities say the dispute had involved social media conflicts and narcotics transactions and that the suspect was outside Peete’s house when the argument escalated.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Homicide & CSI Investigators are handling the inquiry. No charges have been filed so far; the matter has been referred to a grand jury for further review. If anyone knew Kourtney or saw the confrontation, please come forward with what you know.
