On December 16, 2023, at about 5:10 p.m. Houston police responded to reports of a shooting outside a residence at 13234 Adler Drive and found 32-year-old Montre Dijon Birdow critically wounded by gunfire. He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital by Houston Fire Department paramedics and died the next day.

Investigators identified two suspects. Ronald Hamilton, 25, was arrested on January 13, 2024, during a traffic stop in New Braunfels, extradited to Harris County and charged with murder in the 482nd State District Court. The second suspect, 19-year-old Aaron Joshua James, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and remained at large as of January 25, 2024; police asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.

The case has drawn community grief and concern about gun violence in Houston. Does anyone have information about the shooting or knew Montre Birdow that could help investigators?
