On January 31, 2019, 20-year-old Alyssa Reagins was found dead in the middle of the street in Spring, Texas, with a single gunshot wound to the head. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Pepper Ridge Lane, and the initial call to 911 reported a possible suicide. However, when deputies arrived, they found no weapon beside her body. Alyssa was staying at a nearby home with several other adults and children, some of whom reportedly witnessed the aftermath of the shooting.
Steven
Johnson, who lived in the house, reported that Alyssa had been arguing with someone on the phone before she went outside. He heard a gunshot and saw her lying in the street, prompting his daughter-in-law to perform CPR until emergency services arrived. Investigators interviewed family members and neighbors but received conflicting stories about what happened. They also searched the house for weapons but did not find the gun used in the shooting.
Authorities initially believed the shooting might have been a suicide, but the lack of a weapon and conflicting witness statements led them to reconsider. Surveillance footage showed a white car speeding away from the scene around the time of the incident, but no arrests have been made. The investigation remains open, and the Harris County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information to determine what happened to Alyssa Reagins.
The tragic death of Alyssa Reagins has left her family and community searching for answers and justice. Her grandmother described Alyssa as someone who was trying to get her life back on track, and her sudden death has deeply affected those who knew her.
