A shooting at a makeshift nightclub in northeast Houston on December 14, 2024, left two teenagers dead and four others wounded. The pop-up event, called the Curfew Club, was on the 10100 block of Jensen Drive near the Eastex Freeway and drew a crowd described as majority juveniles. The gunfire began around 11:20 p.m., and witnesses said attendees fled in chaos.

Sixteen-year-old King Randle, an aspiring artist preparing for his first public performance, was shot and killed before he could take the stage. He was described by his mother as an old soul who meditated daily, ate healthily, and loved music and nature. Fourteen-year-old Azirya Bankhead was also fatally shot; she was an eighth grader at YES Prep. Four other teens, ages 13 to 19, were injured — the 13-year-old girl in critical condition, the others stable.

Witnesses described the shooter as a tall, thin Black male in all-black clothing with a black hooded sweatshirt and a black mask. No arrests have been announced and the Houston Police Department is investigating; Crime Stoppers is asking for tips and video. Does anyone who attended or has footage of that night have information to share?
