Steven Williams, 25, was shot and killed outside an apartment complex in the 11900 block of Oakmoor Parkway in southwest Houston on September 1, 2025. Investigators say the confrontation began after a man banged on the door of the unit where Williams lived and asked to speak with his girlfriend; the argument moved into the parking lot and multiple shots were fired. Officers arrived about 11:50 a.m., found Williams unresponsive with gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives identified 35-year-old Demeche Williams as a suspect after witness interviews and a review by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. He was charged with murder in the 176th State District Court and was still at large in the days after the shooting. Crime Stoppers announced a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the suspect’s arrest and urged anyone with information to contact HPD Homicide or Crime Stoppers. The reports note the shared last name between victim and suspect but do not confirm any familial relationship.
