Jawanza Rooker, a 20-year-old from Houston, was shot and killed on August 8, 2014, after a drug deal in the 1600 block of North Loop West went bad. The female passenger was wounded and later released from the hospital.

Houston Police identified 22-year-old Justin Cruz Chavez as the suspect in the fatal shooting; he was arrested on August 21, 2014, and charged with murder in the 351st State District Court. Rooker had received a full football scholarship and is remembered by family and friends for his promise and potential.

Does anyone who knew Jawanza or was in that area on August 8, 2014 have information that could add detail to what happened?
