Tremaine De Ante’ Paul, an 18-year-old former Worthing High School student, was fatally shot on March 30, 2011, during a powder puff football game on the school’s intramural field in Houston. The shooting began about 6:30 p.m. when multiple gunmen opened fire; five other people were injured. Witnesses said Paul was caught in crossfire between rival gangs and that he pushed a woman, Gabrielle Strange, to the ground as the shooting started. He was reported to have died while protecting her.

The attack was described as gang-related, with local cliques tied to different schools implicated and long-standing concerns about gang activity in the Sunnyside neighborhood. The Houston Police Department’s Gang Unit noted the city has more than 200 gang groups and over 10,000 members, and authorities increased patrols after the shooting to try to prevent retaliation.

Anyone who knew Tremaine, saw the March 30 incident, or has information about the shooters is asked to come forward.
