A drive-by shooting at a block party in northeast Houston on September 14, 2024, killed 23-year-old Breon Stuard and two other people and wounded eight others. The shooting occurred about 2:25 a.m. in the 4900 block of Laura Koppe Road, where a large crowd had gathered. Witnesses said attendees scrambled for cover; investigators found two different types of shell casings at the scene, suggesting multiple shooters.

Houston Police Department detectives traced a white pickup truck to a rental agency using surveillance footage and license plate recognition; the vehicle had been returned with bullet holes and other damage shortly after the shooting. That lead and social media analysis led investigators to identify three suspects: 21-year-old Javion Tyrus Noel, 20-year-old Jakalyn Willis, and 20-year-old Markielo Jamal Reynolds, each charged with capital murder. Noel was already in custody in Harris County on unrelated charges, and Willis and Reynolds were detained in Los Angeles on unrelated charges. No motive has been publicly disclosed and the investigation remains active.

If anyone attended the block party or has footage or information that could help the investigation, please share what is known with the Houston Police Department.
