Mario Juan Simpson Jr., a 20-year-old African American man, was killed by gunfire on February 1, 2021, at about 6:25 p.m. in the breezeway of an apartment complex at 303 Rosamond Street on Houston’s north side. Officers found Simpson wounded and unresponsive; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting came amid broader concerns about violence at the Rosamond Street complex and left family members grieving a life ended abruptly where he should have been safe.

In July 2021 investigators publicly identified Patrick Donell Greene as a suspect and charged him with murder, noting he was not in custody at the time. He was later arrested out of state in March 2022 on a weapons matter in Prince George’s County, Maryland, where Harris County placed a hold so he could be returned to Texas. Greene was brought back to Harris County and contested aspects of his detention and bond while awaiting trial. The case proceeded toward resolution with Greene convicted of murder and given a 55-year prison sentence.

Are there details about the Rosamond Street complex or that evening that anyone can share to shed more light on what happened?
