Yolanda Annette Royston, 47, was shot and killed at her Richmond, Texas home in the 18100 block of Emerybrook Court on March 11, 2021. Fort Bend County deputies responded about 9:20 p.m. and found her with a gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her son, 19-year-old Herald Monono, was identified as the suspect. A vehicle description was broadcast, and the Alvin Police Department located the car and engaged in a short pursuit before taking Monono into custody. He was charged with murder and booked into the Fort Bend County Jail on $250,000 bond. The motive has not been made public.

Royston is survived by children Genevia and Harold Monono and siblings Carolyn, Patricia, Edwin, Regena, Darral, and Valveria Royston. Does anyone in the Richmond area have information about the family or the events that night?
