A 2-year-old boy, Ivory T.J. West Jr., was shot and killed on July 2, 2019, in Spring, Texas, during an attempted robbery in the garage of the family’s apartment. Ivory was with his father, Ivory West Sr., and a family friend when two armed men confronted them and demanded money. Ivory’s father was shot multiple times while trying to run; the father and the family friend were injured. Ivory died at the scene.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigated and described the incident as a home invasion motivated by robbery. A 23-year-old man, Cecil Lakey, was later charged with capital murder in connection with Ivory’s death; physical evidence linked Lakey to the scene. Authorities say they believe a second suspect was involved and remains at large. Ivory’s mother, Dorothy Harris, has urged anyone with information to come forward. A memorial now marks the spot where the shooting occurred.

Does anyone have information about the second suspect or witnessed activity around that apartment complex on July 2, 2019?
