Horatio Rodriguez Harris was a 37-year-old Black man from Houston, Texas, who worked as a truck driver. Known to some by the nickname "2 Solo Dolo," he was remembered by loved ones as a father who had a beautiful spirit. His life was cut short in the summer of 2023.
On the afternoon of August 17, 2023, Houston Police Department officers responded to reports of a shooting at 3700 Tierwester Street in the city’s Greater Third Ward. At approximately 12:40 p.m., they arrived to find Mr.
Harris unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics from the Houston Fire Department pronounced him deceased at the scene. Investigators learned that the suspect had fled the area in a white vehicle immediately after the shooting.
Homicide detectives began piecing together the events that led to the shooting, receiving assistance from the University of Houston police, Texas Southern University police, and the Harris County Precinct 6 Constable's Office. A preliminary investigation soon revealed that Harris and the suspect knew each other and had been involved in recent arguments.
Two days later, on August 19, authorities publicly identified 44-year-old Edward Domon Brown as the suspect and charged him with murder. Brown remained wanted until August 22, when officers with the HPD Northeast Patrol Division arrested him during a traffic stop.
At the time of his arrest, police found Brown in possession of a stolen gun and a controlled substance. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office filed two additional felony charges against him for felon in possession of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance. The murder charge against Brown was filed in the 183rd State District Court, where proceedings were pending as of August 2023.
