Nerbert Lil Nerb Frelow, a 24-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 24, 2016, in Houston, Texas. The shooting occurred about 2:45 p.m. in the parking lot at 5922 Beaconridge Drive after Frelow arranged a meeting through a mobile app to sell a $70 vape pen. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot; the suspects fled on foot.

Investigators identified and arrested two suspects: Jeremiah Sanders, 18, and Byron Coleman, 17. Both were charged with capital murder by the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office and admitted to roles in the incident during questioning; they were taken into custody without incident. A third male juvenile was questioned and released.

The case drew attention because the suspects were teenagers and because Frelow had been lured to the meeting under the pretense of a sale. If anyone has information about the meeting, the suspects, or events that day, please share what is known.
