Kiesha Price, a 30-year-old African American woman, tragically lost her life on February 5, 2018, in Houston, Texas. She was killed during an attempted carjacking at a gas station in the Alief area of southwest Houston. Price was with her boyfriend and his uncle at the time, and while they went inside the store, she stayed in the car. Surveillance footage shows two men approaching the car on bicycles, with one of them opening the back driver's side door and shooting Price.
The suspects,
identified as Jermia Guillory, 20, and D'Marquis Boone, 24, were arrested a few days later. They were charged with capital murder, robbery causing bodily injury, and evading arrest. The investigation revealed that the suspects had also committed an aggravated robbery just hours after Price's murder. Guillory and Boone were captured after a police chase and were held without bond.
Price's family was devastated by her loss, and her brother, Minister Tyrone Price, emphasized the impact on her 5-year-old son. The family launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses and support her son. Crime Stoppers offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the suspects' arrests.
The case drew significant attention from the Houston Police Department, and Police Chief Art Acevedo praised the efforts of the investigators. The family expressed relief and gratitude when the suspects were arrested and charged. They hoped for justice through the legal system and wanted to ensure that Price's son would know his mother's legacy.
In summary, Kiesha Price's death was a tragic result of an attempted carjacking, and the swift actions of law enforcement led to the arrest and charging of the suspects responsible for her murder.
