DeMarkris Jones was 26 when he was found shot to death inside his Houston home in the Almeda area on February 19, 2019. He and his 25-year-old roommate, Darrell Minifee, were discovered by a family member who had gone to check on them after not hearing from them since Sunday night and saw both men lying lifeless on the living room floor through a window.

Houston Police Department homicide detectives ruled the deaths a double homicide. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry or a struggle and nothing appeared to be taken. Four shell casings were recovered inside the home but a firearm was not located. No suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Demarkris or Darrell, or who has information about that night or the Almeda neighborhood, is asked to come forward with tips.
