DeNovist Wayne Hall, a 31-year-old male, tragically lost his life on April 26, 2021, in Houston, Texas. Hall was fatally shot at an apartment complex in North Harris County while walking in a parking lot. The incident also resulted in injuries to a 4-year-old girl who was an innocent bystander. Hall was shot 19 times, and the suspect, Dornell Jenkins, continued to shoot him even after he fell to the ground.
Dornell Jenkins, a 26-year-old male, was arrested and charged with murder in
connection with Hall's death. Jenkins was already out on bond for a previous assault charge at the time of the shooting. He was denied bond and held without bail due to the severity of the crime and the fact that he was already out on bond when he committed the murder.
The investigation revealed that Jenkins had a history of violent behavior, including an assault charge for impeding the breath of a family member. The shooting incident occurred amidst a struggle with his ex-girlfriend, which added to the complexity of the case. The Harris County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the shooting, and Jenkins faces serious legal consequences for his actions.
