Allexus Tenaya-Nicole Alsup, a 26-year-old woman from Houston, Texas, tragically passed away on December 1, 2022. Alsup was a mother of two young children, ages 3 and 4, and ran a hair-braiding business to support her family. Her death was the result of a violent incident involving her ex-boyfriend, Richard Hemphill, who was charged with capital murder.
The incident occurred early in the morning at Alsup's apartment in the Wesley Square Apartments on Calhoun Road.
According to police reports, video evidence showed Hemphill breaking into Alsup's unit through a window and firing several rounds from a rifle, ultimately killing her. Alsup's family and friends stated that she had been trying to end her relationship with Hemphill for years due to ongoing violence and harassment.
Hemphill, who was 27 years old at the time, was arrested the following day and his bond was set at $1 million. He remains in jail as the investigation continues. The case has drawn significant attention, with Alsup's family setting up a GoFundMe to support her children and seeking justice for her death.
The Harris County District Attorney's office has been involved in the case, and resources for victims of domestic violence have been made available to those in need. The community has rallied around Alsup's family, offering condolences and support during this difficult time.
Alsup's death has highlighted the serious issue of domestic violence and the importance of providing support and resources to those affected by it. Her family continues to seek justice and ensure that her children are cared for in her absence.
