Gary Norvelle Houston, 30, was fatally shot at a gas station on Aldine Bender Road in north Harris County, Texas, on December 20, 2023. Surveillance footage showed a man later identified as 21-year-old Tyreq Anthoni Sanders dancing and flashing cash inside the store shortly before an ambush outside the station. About 30 minutes after the footage, Sanders and a group of men confronted Houston; Sanders was seen hiding near the entrance of the Haverstock Hills apartments before emerging and shooting Houston multiple times, including four shots to the back.

Houston tried to flee despite his wounds and crashed, causing a chain-reaction collision that injured an older woman. Authorities say the shooting followed a verbal disagreement and have described Sanders as the primary suspect; a warrant was issued for his arrest. Houston’s family remembered him as protective and devoted to his job and daughter, and his mother expressed shock and grief over the back shots.

Did anyone in the area see or record the moments leading up to the shooting or recognize the men involved?
