Cameron Allen was an 18-year-old from Houston who was shot and killed on July 1, 2022. He was attending a pool party at an apartment complex on West Airtex Boulevard in north Harris County when a fight erupted and multiple people fired guns. Cameron was one of two teenagers killed; the other was 17-year-old Dillon Denman. A 20-year-old man was also shot and survived.

Several people were initially questioned after the shootings. On August 28, 2022, 18-year-old Jamil Early Syrie Jr. was arrested and charged with capital murder, accused of shooting Cameron and Dillon as innocent bystanders during the altercation. He was denied bond and was expected to appear in court shortly after the arrest. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office continued to interview witnesses and review surveillance footage.

Cameron is remembered by family and friends for his vibrant personality and love of basketball and time with friends. If anyone at the pool party or nearby that night has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
