Horace Jackson, a 60-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on May 18, 2014, in Houston, Texas. He was fatally shot at his friend's residence located at 6301 Ezzard Charles Lane. The incident occurred around midnight when three armed suspects broke into the home, demanding money. Jackson and another man, Tyreal Breaux, 26, were both shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation revealed that the shooting was likely drug-related, as authorities
found marijuana, cocaine, and drug paraphernalia inside the home. The suspects, described as black males, fled the scene on foot and remain at large. The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division, along with Senior Police Officer P. Vela and Officer S. Overstreet, led the investigation. They urged anyone with information to come forward and contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
Despite the tragic circumstances, Jackson's family and friends remember him fondly. His brother, who was present during the shooting, recounted how Jackson was laying on the ground when he was shot. The community has been deeply affected by the loss, and efforts to find the perpetrators continue.
The case remains open, and the Houston Police Department continues to seek justice for Horace Jackson and Tyreal Breaux. The investigation highlights the ongoing challenges of addressing drug-related violence and ensuring the safety of Houston residents.
