Wendell Johnson was killed in a shooting at a Meyerland gas station in Houston in the early hours of December 7, 2025. The incident took place around 12:50 a.m. inside a convenience store in the 5300 block of North Braeswood Boulevard. Houston Police officers found Johnson with gunshot wounds after a confrontation and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows three masked individuals entering the store shortly before the violence. Investigators say a verbal argument between Johnson and the masked men escalated and the suspects opened fire, then fled the scene. Friends and community members described Johnson as a chef and an activist known for his humble, generous nature. The Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers have appealed for information and offered a reward; no arrests had been announced in the initial reports.

If anyone was in or near the store that night or has information about the three masked suspects, please share what is known with investigators.
