Kennedy Asante, 28, a Black/African American man from Houston, was fatally shot on July 15, 2025, near a METRO bus on Antoine Drive after an altercation with the bus driver. Police say Asante boarded the Route 85/606 bus in the 5300 block of Antoine and was refused service because of a prior disturbance. Officers allege the confrontation escalated, Asante assaulted the driver and fled the bus.

A woman who had been on the bus stepped off, waited near the entrance and then, as Asante ran, pulled a pistol from her waistband and fired multiple times. Officers found Asante with several gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Detectives identified the shooter as 19-year-old Asia C. Law. She fled on foot but was arrested two days later and charged with murder in Harris County’s 248th State District Court. Investigators cited surveillance footage and linked Law to a separate shooting the previous day at a METRO stop on Tidwell Road, an incident that allegedly involved shots fired at a vehicle after a dispute and no reported injuries.

Media accounts placed the Antoine Drive shooting at about 9:30 p.m. and noted Law faced an aggravated assault bond of $50,000 for the Tidwell incident while a bond for the murder charge was initially not set. What additional witnesses or footage might clarify the moments leading up to the shots?
