On August 13, 2023, at about 1:30 a.m., 29-year-old Donald James was fatally shot outside an ice house at 4601 Almeda Genoa Road in southeast Houston after an argument between James and a woman in the establishment’s parking lot. A person approached and shot James; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. A female bystander in her 20s or 30s was also shot in the arm and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Houston police later identified 19-year-old Trevon Demas as a suspect; he surrendered on August 17, 2023, and was charged with murder after questioning. Authorities linked the motive to the argument but did not disclose specifics, and Demas’s relationship, if any, to the people involved was not released. The ice house suffered a fire on August 15, 2023; officials did not confirm any connection between the blaze and the shooting.

Donald’s mother, Rosa James, said he had recently turned 29 and was a father of five. Who has information about the argument or the events that night?
