James Sanders, 29, was fatally shot in a parking lot at 2601 San Jacinto Street in Houston, Texas, on September 10, 2023, at about 2:10 a.m. Sanders was visiting Houston with his girlfriend and had been at a Midtown nightclub when a confrontation with 24-year-old Guy Baham escalated. Baham fired multiple shots, and Sanders died at the scene.

Sanders’ 40-year-old girlfriend retrieved a firearm and fired several rounds at Baham as he fled in a light-colored Toyota Camry that showed visible bullet damage. Baham later went to a local hospital with a gunshot wound, was treated, and was arrested and charged with murder in the 482nd State District Court. The girlfriend has not been charged in connection with the shooting.

Anyone who was at the nightclub or saw activity in the parking lot that night is asked to come forward with information.
