Chase Gregory Alexander Simon was 24 when he was shot in Houston’s Third Ward on June 7, 2019, and died of his wounds on June 24, 2019. The case remains unsolved; no arrest has been reported and investigators continue to seek leads.

His mother, Syble Davis, has kept his memory visible in the community. She runs an annual toy drive—grown to serve about 50 families—in honor of Chase, who reportedly loved toys and was described as someone who could make things happen. Davis also formed the Chase The Wizard Simon Foundation to help families who have lost loved ones to violence.

Chase’s family and others in the neighborhood continue to press for answers while supporting victims of violence in his name. If anyone has information about the shooting in the Third Ward on June 7, 2019, please come forward.
