Carddell London Jr., 17, was found shot to death on February 18, 2024, in the front yard of a residence on Brookemeade Drive near Bathurst Drive in southwest Houston. A local woman discovered his body around 11 p.m. while taking out her trash. Carddell was a student at James Madison High School, one block from the scene.

Investigators say surveillance footage obtained by ABC13 shows Carddell walking with another individual shortly before four gunshots are heard, and police believe he was acquainted with his assailant. The neighborhood has had safety concerns from residents, and Houston Police records show at least four calls related to shootings at that address since 2021. No arrests have been announced and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.

Carddell’s mother, Altisha London, moved the family from Louisiana three years earlier seeking a safer environment; she has spoken publicly about her grief and frustration. If anyone knew Carddell or saw the area that night, does anyone have information that could help the investigation?
