Kristen Askew, 26, was fatally shot on May 2, 2021, in the parking lot of a convenience store at 2002 Runnels Street in Houston. She had left her apartment at 1900 Runnels Street to buy items and became involved in an altercation in the store parking lot that ended with her being shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Houston police reviewed surveillance video and identified a person of interest — a white or Hispanic male seen leaving on a bicycle — who was later released after investigators determined he had no information about the shooting. On May 14, 2021, 25-year-old Treimaine Trey Morris was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon; he was on probation at the time for a prior aggravated assault conviction.
