On April 19, 2013, a fatal shooting occurred in southeast Houston, resulting in the death of 30-year-old Jessie Coleman. The incident happened around 10 p.m. when Houston police responded to a shooting call at the intersection of Redbud Street and Danube Street.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Jessie Coleman's body by the side of the road. He had been shot twice. According to homicide detectives, Coleman was involved in an argument while in a car with another man. The altercation escalated when a third, unidentified person pulled a gun and shot Coleman, who was the driver of the car. Coleman died at the scene.
The passenger in the car, who was not injured, fled the area immediately after the shooting. Detectives subsequently worked to locate and question this individual to gather more information about the incident.
The police had not established a clear motive for the killing at the time of the report. However, it was mentioned that Coleman was believed to have been involved in a robbery earlier on the same day, although it was unclear if this event was related to his murder.
