On August 7, 2024, two young relatives died in a Houston apartment after a firearm was brought into the home by 17-year-old Christopher Reyes Henriquez. He showed the weapon to family members, including 11-year-old Jason Arnoldo Henriquez and a 14-year-old girl. Christopher set the gun on a bed; the 14-year-old picked it up, believing it to be unloaded, and pulled the trigger. The bullet struck Jason in the head and he died at the scene.

Following the shooting, Christopher left the apartment and later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a wooded area near the complex; he was taken to a hospital and did not survive. The Houston Police Department determined the shooting was accidental, found no signs of foul play, and made no arrests or charges. Funeral services for Jason were held on August 15, 2024, at Brookside Funeral Home.

Who in the Houston area might have information about how the firearm came into the home or about the events that afternoon?
