Christopher Beatty, 33, was killed in a mass shooting on March 26, 2017, at the Haverstock Hills Apartments in northeast Harris County, Houston, Texas. The shooting followed an argument after two brothers, Harvey and Jeremy Jones, arrived at the scene. Harvey Jones allegedly pointed a semi-automatic rifle at the group; Jeremy Jones fired about 18 rounds and six people were hit. Beatty sustained gunshot wounds to his leg and lower back and was taken to LBJ Hospital, where he died.

Initial charges named Harvey Jones with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and Jeremy Jones with capital murder in the deaths of Beatty and another victim, Gary Wayne Rusher. Those charges against Jeremy Jones were later dropped due to a mistaken identity, and Kenneth Emmitt Jones was subsequently charged with capital murder. The shooting prompted a community rally at Haverstock Hills, where residents demanded more security measures such as cameras, guards, and improved access control.

The families remain grieving and seeking justice; the case was still under investigation and the suspects remained at large. If anyone has information about the March 26, 2017 shooting or the whereabouts of the individuals involved, please come forward.
