Alturion Banks, a 19-year-old African American man from Houston, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of December 22, 2019. The shooting happened around 2 a.m. in the parking lot of Headliners Sports Bar at 9804 Jones Road, northwest of Jersey Village. Banks and another man, Diego Barrera, were inside a car when they were both shot; Barrera suffered nine gunshot wounds and Banks six.

Investigators say the two men had met earlier that morning with the alleged shooter, 26-year-old Jason Cisneros. Cisneros was arrested and charged with capital murder and was being held in Harris County Jail without bond. An 18-year-old, Xavier Fletcher, was later charged with capital murder as well and arrested on February 7, 2020. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the accused gunmen meeting the victims at the bar, entering Barrera’s car, an altercation, and gunfire from the rear passenger side where Cisneros was seen entering. After the shooting, Fletcher and Cisneros were seen pushing over Barrera as if searching for something; Fletcher was later dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand.

The motive remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing. Did anyone in the area see the men together at Headliners Sports Bar that night or have information about what led to the meeting?
