James Simmons, a 42-year-old Black man from Galveston, Texas, was fatally shot on the morning of September 15, 2025, in the 2900 block of CT Street. Officers who responded to the scene found Simmons with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. The neighborhood where the shooting occurred is described as having challenges with street violence.

Family tributes remembered Simmons as a good person who had been caught up in street life. He attended Ball High School and was known by the nickname Booger. He was described as fun and crazy and leaves behind a child. A memorial page created for him showed 49 candles lit by loved ones and community members.

As of October 9, 2025, there have been no public reports of arrests or named suspects and the Galveston Police Department continues to investigate. Does anyone have information about Simmons, his routines, or what happened on CT Street that morning?
