On July 31, 2012, Tarvette Devon Baugh, a 36-year-old mother, was fatally shot in Houston, Texas. The incident took place around 3:40 a.m. at the Ashwood Condominiums, located at 10203 Forum Park in southwest Houston. Baugh was shot multiple times in the chest as she was getting out of her car, apparently returning home when she was approached by multiple suspects. Police have indicated that robbery may have been the motive for the attack.
The crime scene was discovered by neighbors who called 911 after finding Baugh still in her vehicle. Sadly, she died at the scene before any medical help could be rendered. The investigation revealed no immediate suspects, and law enforcement officials pleaded with anyone with information to come forward. Family members, including her grandmother Errie Booker, described Baugh as a "happy, go-lucky" individual and urged the public to assist in identifying her attackers. Baugh was a mother to a young child, which only added to the sense of tragedy felt by her family and community.
