Keishawn Cornett was 20 when he was fatally shot on August 9, 2021, in the backseat of a car in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 8600 block of Pitner Road in Houston. Another man, 19-year-old Lee Edwards, was also shot and later died at a nearby hospital. The suspect fled in a small black SUV. Cornett attempted to drive away but was unable to get far before the vehicle stopped and he was found deceased.

Families have been left to grieve and may consider civil options such as negligent security claims if the complex is found to have been lax. Anyone with information is asked to contact HPD.

Did anyone in the area on August 9, 2021, see a small black SUV or the confrontation in the 8600 block of Pitner Road?
