Derrick Mike, 39, was shot multiple times on November 28, 2020, at the Garden City Apartments in Houston and died the following day at HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest. Witnesses or officers reported he was conscious after the shooting and gave a description of his assailant before being taken for treatment.

Edward O’Neal, 23, was identified and charged in Derrick’s killing. O’Neal had previously been released on bail in an unrelated 2016 murder of a 16-year-old, and his mother told police he had mental health problems; the District Attorney objected to lowering his bond.

Derrick’s family and friends have been active in seeking justice and posted the cousin’s photo on social media asking for help locating her. The case remains under investigation; Edward O’Neal is being held without bail. Does anyone have information about Derrick, the Garden City Apartments that night, or the cousin mentioned by the family?
