Darrell Brooks was a 17-year-old African American male who was shot and killed on December 20, 2017, in Houston, Texas. He was walking along the sidewalk at 5230 Ridgestone when a suspect in a silver, two-door hatchback pulled alongside and fired multiple shots; the suspect then fled the scene. No suspect or motive was known at the time.

The Houston Police Department Homicide Division assigned Detectives K. McDonald and B. Evans to the investigation and appealed to the community for information. Reports note that immediate leads were lacking and that the absence of witnesses willing to come forward has hindered progress.

Whoever knew Darrell, saw activity near 5230 Ridgestone on December 20, 2017, or has any information is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.
