Azirya Bankhead, 14, was one of two teenagers killed when an assailant opened fire at a pop-up party described as a makeshift nightclub in northeast Houston on December 14, 2024. The shooting happened about 11:20 p.m. at an unoccupied business on the 10100 block of Jensen Drive near the Eastex Freeway while the event, called the Curfew Club, drew a large crowd of mostly teens.

Witnesses described the shooter as a tall, thin man dressed all in black, including a hooded sweatshirt and mask. Six people were shot in total: Azirya and 16-year-old King Randle were killed, and four other teenage girls — ages 13 to 19 — were wounded; the 13-year-old remained in critical condition while the others were reported in serious to stable condition. The unauthorized event lacked permits and security, and investigators said the absence of surveillance footage and the chaotic scene with attendees fleeing have complicated the probe.

No arrests have been announced and the suspect remains at large. Does anyone who attended or was nearby that night have information that could help identify the shooter?
