Jayden Dandridge, 21, was found dead in Houston, Texas, on March 27, 2025. His body was located in an abandoned building and he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Science ruled the death a homicide. No arrests have been announced in connection with his death, and authorities have not disclosed a motive.

Dandridge had been identified as a suspect in a deadly shooting in downtown Memphis on March 22, 2025, outside the Westin Hotel near the FedEx Forum. Surveillance footage showed him inside a stolen 2021 Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack that was used in the incident. One victim, 27-year-old Letorian Hunt, was pronounced dead at the scene; another, Houston rapper Sauce Walka, identified as Albert Walker Mondane, was shot in the thigh and survived. Memphis police had issued a warrant charging Dandridge with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and auto theft.

Investigators were also focusing on a second suspect, 22-year-old Kevin Brown, charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and theft of property valued between $10,000 and $60,000; Brown remained at large. Phone records showed Dandridge’s device pinging near Houston’s Galleria area on March 25 while authorities were actively searching for him. Anyone with information on Brown’s whereabouts is asked to contact Memphis Crime Stoppers.
