Danta Mottley, 28, was fatally shot on June 26, 2018, after an altercation that began at an apartment complex on Barberry Drive and moved to Zollie Scales Park in the 3500 block of Corder Street. The shooting occurred around 9:50 p.m. when Mottley and a male suspect, who was known to him, got into a physical fight that escalated to gunfire. Both men were struck; Mottley was pronounced dead on arrival at Ben Taub General Hospital, and the suspect was taken to a hospital by private vehicle with his condition not reported.

The Houston Police Department Homicide Division, led by Sergeant J. Horn and Detective S. Overstreet, investigated. The suspect fled the scene but was later located at a hospital. Few details are public about events leading up to the confrontation beyond the initial dispute at the apartment complex.

Did anyone witness the disturbance at Barberry Drive or see what happened at Zollie Scales Park around 9:50 p.m. on June 26, 2018?
