Eric West, 48, was shot during an altercation outside Big Red’s Lounge near Lucky and Knox Streets in north Houston in the early morning hours of May 17, 2025. Violence broke out around 2 a.m., witnesses reported an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation; West was shot multiple times and was taken by private vehicle to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after arrival. Detectives E. Torres and A. Graf of the HPD Homicide Division led the investigation, tracing the scene and following leads that pointed to a single assailant who fled on foot.

Within weeks, investigators identified 34-year-old Jaggard Dontae Bouldin as the person they believed fired the shots. On June 4, 2025, the HPD Fugitive Apprehension Team arrested Bouldin, and the next day he was charged with murder in the 209th State District Court in connection with West’s killing. Obituaries and memorial pages record May 17, 2025, as the date of West’s death, and police asked anyone with additional information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about the night around 900 Lucky Street or knew Eric West and can offer details that might help the case?
