Alexandria Lynn Berg, a 24-year-old Caucasian woman known for her warm smile and loving spirit, had moved to Houston, Texas, from her native Lansing, Michigan. Born on May 31, 1989, she was remembered by loved ones as someone who "made people her life." Alexandria was a devoted mother to her young son, Christopher James Davis. The boy's father, also named Christopher Davis, was her best friend and partner. Her family, including her mother, father, five brothers, and a sister, cherished her deeply.
On the night of Thursday, April 17, 2014, Alexandria's life was cut tragically short. She was sitting in a parked car with Christopher Davis, then 29, in the driveway of a residence in west Houston. At approximately 9 p.m., in the 11100 block of Colebrook Drive near Boone Road, at least one man approached their vehicle and opened fire without warning. Some reports indicated there may have been two gunmen involved in the ambush.
Multiple shots were fired into the car, striking both Alexandria and Christopher.
When first responders from the Houston Police Department arrived at the residential street, they found Alexandria fatally wounded inside the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Christopher Davis had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was rushed to Memorial Hermann Hospital; he was expected to survive his injuries. The motive for the sudden and violent attack was not immediately clear to investigators, who began processing the scene for evidence.
The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division took charge of the investigation. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood, a quiet area of homes in the Alief district of west Houston, searching for potential witnesses who might have seen the assailant or assailants flee. The suspect was described only as a Black male in his twenties. He, or they, had vanished from the scene immediately after the shooting. Despite the initial description, the trail appeared to go cold, and no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath of the crime.
In the days following her murder, Alexandria's family was left to mourn their profound loss. Her body was returned to her hometown of Lansing, Michigan, where her loved ones gathered to say their final goodbyes. A celebration of her life was held on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at the Palmer, Bush & Jensen Family Funeral Home. Friends and relatives gathered to honor the memory of a young woman known for her loving spirit. In lieu of flowers, her family requested that memorial contributions be made to an education fund established for her young son, who was now left without his mother.
Years have passed since Alexandria Berg was killed, and her case remains unsolved. No arrests have ever been announced, and the person or people responsible for her death have not been brought to justice. The reason for the violent attack in the quiet residential driveway remains a painful and unanswered question for her family and friends. The Houston Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects or persons of interest since the initial investigation. As of late 2026, the case is still open, awaiting the new lead that could finally provide answers and deliver justice for Alexandria and the loved ones she left behind.
