On December 10, 2023, at about 6:50 p.m., 65-year-old John Davis was shot while riding in the backseat of his own vehicle in southwest Houston. A friend had picked him up from a store at 10310 West Bellfort Avenue; as they passed a minor, unrelated crash in the 9800 block of West Bellfort, someone opened fire on their car. The driver was wounded in the leg and drove them both to a nearby hospital, where Davis was critically injured.

Davis died from complications of the gunshot wound on February 22, 2024. The Houston Police Department has classified the death as a homicide. Witnesses described the shooter as a Black male in a gray hoodie who was seated in the backseat of an unidentified sedan. No arrests have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS; a reward of up to $5,000 is offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Does anyone who was in that area on the evening of December 10, 2023, remember seeing the described sedan or the man in the gray hoodie?
