On March 2, 2021, 15-year-old Bryce Alexander was found shot to death at his home in the 11100 block of Cayman Mist Drive in southeast Houston. His 71-year-old grandmother, Carmen Hayes, was also found dead at the scene; both deaths are part of a double homicide.

Police identified 35-year-old relative Derrick Hayes as the suspect. Family members reported finding the bodies and saying Derrick Hayes was missing and possibly armed. When relatives later located him and attempted to detain him, he allegedly tried to shoot his uncle but missed; officers arrested him and charged him with capital murder, aggravated assault of a family member, and felon in possession of a weapon. Investigators described the case as family violence and said Derrick Hayes had a history of family violence.

The deaths have deeply affected the family and the neighborhood. Does anyone have information about Bryce, Carmen Hayes, or events around March 2, 2021 that could help investigators?
