On June 6, 2024, 36-year-old Damon Price, an employee at the Houston Farmers Market and a father of two, was fatally shot while trying to stop what he observed as a theft. Price was checking in delivery trucks when he confronted two people attempting to steal a golf cart; a physical struggle followed and one of the suspects produced a firearm and shot Price multiple times. The assailants fled, leaving Price mortally wounded in the market parking lot.

Houston Police Department investigators reviewed surveillance footage that showed two young Hispanic males in dark hoodies rummaging through merchandise and trying to take the golf cart. A breakthrough came when the mother of one suspect, a 14-year-old boy, identified him from the released video and brought him to police; he was charged with capital murder and referred to Harris County Juvenile Probation. A magistrate judge ordered he remain in custody pending further proceedings; his next hearing was set for June 24, 2024. No arrest has been announced in connection with the second suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities.
