Isiah McCoy, a 27-year-old male, tragically lost his life on September 22, 2021, in Houston, Texas. He was one of two victims in a double homicide that took place at the Portofino Apartments in the Cypress Station area. The other victim, Reginald "JJ" Jackson, aged 30, was also killed in the incident.
Authorities identified Rishaud Womack, a 31-year-old man with a lengthy criminal history, as the suspect responsible for the murders.
Womack was out on bond for burglary of habitation and driving while intoxicated at the time of the shooting. Surveillance footage captured Womack approaching McCoy and Jackson in the apartment complex parking lot and firing multiple rounds at McCoy before chasing and shooting Jackson on Redleaf Lane. Womack then fled the scene in a black Nissan SUV.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office charged Womack with capital murder in connection with the deaths of McCoy and Jackson. Investigators believe the incident may have been drug-related, although the exact motive remains unclear. Womack was considered armed and dangerous, and authorities urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Houston Crime Stoppers.
The tragic loss of Isiah McCoy and Reginald Jackson has left a lasting impact on their families and the community. The investigation into their deaths continues as authorities work to bring justice for the victims and their loved ones.
