Alisha Kalee Parker, 48, was shot and killed on the night of February 4, 2025, outside a gas station on Barker Cypress Road near the Katy Freeway in Houston. Responders found her unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a black BMW sedan after reports of gunfire around 9:05 p.m.; she had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect as Alisha’s brother, 44-year-old Dawud Parker. Surveillance footage showed Dawud exiting the BMW’s passenger seat moments before the shooting, witnesses heard gunfire and saw him flee, and a black extended magazine with unfired casings plus the victim’s keys were recovered near a dumpster behind the station. Dawud Parker was arrested on February 6, 2025, charged with murder and had bond set at $500,000 after an appearance in which he behaved erratically in court.

Friends and family described Alisha as kind-hearted and struggling to understand why her brother would harm her. Authorities say no clear motive has been established. Does anyone who knew Alisha or who was near Barker Cypress Road that night have information that could help explain what happened?
