On September 27, 2021, 17-year-old Andrell Lamon of Houston was killed after confronting an armed man at the Green Light convenience store at 9635 Scott Street in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The shooter, identified as 47-year-old Al Vernon Brown, entered the store with two guns and took eight people hostage. Andrell, who was armed, went inside to demand the release of the hostages. Brown fired multiple shots, striking Andrell in the torso. Andrell ran back outside, later collapsed, and died after being taken to the hospital.

Brown was arrested and charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated assault against a public servant; he was held on $650,000 bond. The episode left the neighborhood shaken, and several of the hostages were children under 17. A GoFundMe was created to help cover Andrell’s burial expenses.

Andrell’s actions are described as an attempt to save others at great personal risk. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Andrell and can help fill in details about what happened inside the store?
