On the night of November 10, 2025, 34-year-old Brenton Griffin was shot on Sunflower Street in southeast Houston. Police were called just after 9:25 p.m. to the 4600 block of Sunflower near Bellfort and Cullen after reports of gunfire. Officers found Griffin gravely wounded; he was treated on scene by Houston Fire Department paramedics, taken to a nearby hospital, and later pronounced dead.

Friends and family remember Griffin by the nickname Noodles and say he was self-employed, working from home, and the father of at least one child. He was described as caring, respectful, loving, and God-fearing, with roots in Houston’s south side and schooling at Attucks Middle and Worthing High. Detectives E. Camacho and A. Hernandez of HPD’s Homicide Division developed the investigation and identified Roxanne Albert as the person responsible. After consulting with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, HPD obtained murder charges against her and released a booking photo; court records cited prior felony convictions for Albert.

Authorities have not disclosed what triggered the confrontation or whether Griffin and Albert knew each other beforehand. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact HPD’s Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
