Steve Leon Donald, a 53-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the early hours of September 12, 2020, at an apartment complex at 19301 Hightower Lane in Houston. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; the Houston Police Department Homicide Division responded to investigate.

According to the HPD, a witness identified Banks as the shooter and he was detained near the scene shortly after the incident. The department says Banks admitted to his role when interviewed; detectives described the shooting as a targeted attack and reported that Banks was known to the victim, though a motive was not disclosed.

Donald’s funeral services were held on September 19, 2020, at the Palace of Praise Church in Spring, Texas. Does anyone have information about Steve’s relationship with the accused or details that could shed light on why he was targeted?
