On August 31, 2023, at about 8:20 p.m., a motorcyclist found 19-year-old Tahir Mosiah Douglas lying in the middle of Swingle Road near Scott Street in southeast Houston. Douglas had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around that time, but it is unclear whether he was shot there or his body was moved to that location.

By December 2024 there had been no arrests or publicly identified suspects and the Houston Police Department had not determined a motive. Douglas’s aunt, Haleasious Amos, described the killing as senseless and said his plans to continue his education were cut short. The family organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral and therapy costs, and the community has been urged to share any information that could help the investigation.

Did anyone in southeast Houston hear or see anything on the night of August 31 that might help bring answers to the family?
