Jyron Johnson, 20, was fatally shot on June 8, 2024, in a west Harris County neighborhood near Katy, Texas. The shooting happened shortly before 1 p.m. in a grassy alleyway off Silverhawk Drive, near Clay and Greenhouse roads, only blocks from Johnson’s residence. Investigators say Johnson had arranged a meeting with the suspect online, possibly via a marketplace-type platform; they stated the meeting did not involve drugs.

Witnesses and surveillance footage show the suspect, described as a male in his late teens or early 20s, firing multiple shots. Video captured at least ten gunshots and shows Johnson stumbling across a driveway with visible wounds before collapsing a block away; deputies pronounced him dead at the scene. After the shooting the suspect fled and remains unidentified. Johnson’s mother said he left behind two daughters and was expecting a son; the family launched a GoFundMe to help with expenses.

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and other evidence to determine exactly how many times Johnson was shot and to identify the shooter. If anyone has information about the incident, the case investigators want to hear from you.
