On November 14, 2023, a fatal shooting occurred in the 7900 block of Atwood Hill Lane near Lee Road in northwest Harris County, Texas, resulting in the death of 24-year-old Ra'Mard Wright.
The incident began earlier that evening when a 23-year-old woman, who resided at the Atwood Hill Lane home with 37-year-old Eric Spears, left following an argument. She returned later with her ex-boyfriend and his brother, Ra'Mard and 23-year-old Ra'Nard Wright. Upon their arrival, Spears exited the house, leading to a confrontation that escalated into a gunfight. During the exchange, Ra'Mard Wright was fatally shot.
Following his brother's shooting, Ra'Nard Wright retrieved Ra'Mard's pistol and fired at Spears as he retreated into the house. Law enforcement detained Ra'Nard Wright, Eric Spears, and the 23-year-old woman at the scene. Ra'Nard Wright was charged with aggravated assault for shooting at Spears during his retreat. Spears was arrested on an unrelated outstanding felony warrant. The circumstances surrounding Ra'Mard Wright's death are set to be presented to a Harris County Grand Jury for further evaluation.
Ra'Mard Wright was born on July 7, 1999, and passed away on November 14, 2023, in Houston, Texas. A viewing and celebration of his life were held on November 25, 2023, at Victory International Church in Houston.
