Romance Daniels, a 34-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the chest during an altercation at an apartment in Cypress Station, Houston, on August 16, 2021. The shooting occurred after Daniels went to the apartment and a fight broke out with his ex-girlfriend’s brother; Daniels was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigated. Both the ex-girlfriend and her brother cooperated; the brother told investigators he fired in self-defense. The case was referred to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and later presented to a grand jury, and neither step produced criminal charges.

The circumstances left the death legally unresolved, with no one held criminally responsible. Does anyone have information or witnessed the events at the apartment on August 16, 2021?
