Bryan Solis, 19, of Houston died on May 21, 2019 after an incident in east Houston in which he and a group of friends were reportedly shooting paintballs at a house. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office investigated and presented the matter to a grand jury to decide whether the homeowner’s actions were justified or criminal. Authorities also examined the actions of the group of teens who participated in the paintball incident.

Bryan’s family held a funeral service at Saint Phillip’s Catholic Church and called for answers as the legal process unfolded. The case divided the community over self-defense and the use of lethal force in response to non-lethal provocation. Was anyone in Bryan’s group able to provide a clear timeline or descriptions that could explain how the confrontation escalated?
