Seventeen-year-old Tristan Jones, a Black male, was shot multiple times in Channelview, Texas, on February 18, 2020, and later died at a hospital. Initial accounts place the shooting in front of a home on Mira Colina and near the 1200 block of Baja Vista Way; deputies responded to reports of a shooting around 3:20 a.m. on February 19, 2020, and Tristan was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead early that morning. A neighbor reported hearing gunfire, and witnesses said two suspects fled in a vehicle before anyone could get a clear look.

Surveillance video from a nearby residence shows two suspects following Tristan from a retention pond into a cul-de-sac, each extending an arm and appearing to fire; one returned to Tristan after he fell before running off. Detectives later identified 18-year-old Jabraylon Pleasant as one of the suspects and charged him with murder; he denied involvement. Authorities believe at least two people took part in the shooting and urged anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s office.

Did anyone in the area see Tristan that night or notice the vehicle the suspects used to leave?
