On June 11, 2023, 29-year-old Jasmine McHenry was shot and killed inside her Houston apartment. Her 9-year-old daughter, Azariah, reportedly witnessed the shooting after McHenry had told her to call her grandmother because the child’s father figure, 32-year-old Thomas Wilson Alexander, had allegedly brandished a firearm. McHenry was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

Authorities arrested Alexander and charged him with murder; he was booked into the Harris County Jail with bond set at $1 million. Court records show the couple had been together at least three years and shared a 3-year-old son. Family members described McHenry as a devoted mother and kind-hearted, and expressed shock and confusion at the killing.

Did anyone in the Houston area know Jasmine or have information about the relationship dynamics leading up to this shooting?
