Danny Barron was an 18-year-old who was fatally shot on January 1, 2017, outside the Studio Movie Grill in Cypress, Houston, Texas. He and a friend were sitting in Barron’s car when they were approached by a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl after a meeting that had been arranged under the pretense of a drug deal. The 16-year-old produced a gun and shot Barron twice in the back; his friend was shot once in the face and survived with critical injuries. Barron was pronounced dead on arrival at Cy-Fair Regional Hospital.

The investigation led to the arrest of the 17-year-old, Faith Deleon, and the 16-year-old boy. Deleon was charged with capital murder for her alleged role in arranging the encounter; the juvenile suspect was charged and held at the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center. Authorities described the motive as robbery, saying the suspects intended to rob Barron and his friend. The case drew attention because minors were implicated in a deadly robbery.

Did anyone in the Cypress area see Barron or his car that night or have information about the arranged meeting?
