On the evening of Friday, February 6, 2026, 42-year-old Maxie Worthy was shot and killed outside a bar in the Briar Forest area of Houston. The shooting happened at about 8:25 p.m. in the 1900 block of South Kirkwood Road. Worthy, a Black / African American male, was standing outside the establishment when he was approached by two or three individuals; an interaction escalated and Worthy sustained a gunshot wound. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene and the Houston Police Department Homicide Division opened the investigation.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Jordan Fobb as a suspect. On Sunday, February 8, 2026, Fobb was taken into custody by the Westside Patrol Division Tactical Unit on an unrelated charge and was later charged with murder in connection with Worthy’s death. The case has been assigned to the 209th Criminal District Court.

Are there witnesses who were outside that bar on the night of February 6 who can shed light on what led to the confrontation?
