He dead.

4 dead in shooting spree from Sugar Land to Houston

Quote:
At 2 p.m., Houston police responded to another shooting in the 8000 block of Creekbend Drive, approximately 2.9 miles away from the Fondren shooting.

At this scene, the gunman tied to the deadly shootings turned the gun on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bet he was headed back to those apartments on Creekbend when he decided to off himself.

Man, those TV station internet reports are written so badly. This section is a mess:

"At 1:45 p.m., the Houston Police Department said the suspect pulled up to the mechanic shop in the 13000 block of Fondren Road and got into some kind of argument.

At one point, police said a witness outside began recording him on a cell phone. That's when the suspect opened fire, killing the two men.

Surveillance footage captured near the scene showed the shooter get out of his car and chase one of the men before killing him. The gunman then fled."

There were billboards back in the 90's with the girls faces on them, asking people to help identify the killers.

It was awful.

Yep. Houston was like a big small town back then. Stuff like that galvanized and got everyone in the same page. Now stuff happens and no one even notices.

I remember around the same time a police officer was shot and killed near 45 and North Main and spontaneously that day everyone turned on their headlights to honor him (back when you had to actually turn your lights on because they didn't come on automatically).

You mean like when 42 boys went missing in the Heights over a couple years in the 70's, and the police dismissed them all as runaways?

Ah the glory days of old Houston.

Yeah, nothing about that story screams to me how houston used to be a an amazing place compared to now. One of the most horrific things I've ever read.

Everyone was galvanized because of how ****ing horrific it was.

What could possibly be worth arguing and killing someone over?

Oh, look. A Dodge Charger. Bet the other vehicle was a Chrysler 300.

How many of these Louisiana connected murders are the spawn of Hurricane Katrina evacuees?

Thanks again Democrat, Liberal former Mayor Bill White for bringing that trash to Houston. You are responsible for greatly increasing the Houston area crime rate in the decades since Katrina.

If I'm reading it correctly, they ordered a Lyft in Louisiana, killed the driver, and drove the car to Houston. So not Bill White's fault this time?

I don't know. Were they spawn of Katrina refugees from Houston visiting Louisiana? Or from Louisiana and going to hide out with Katrina friends/ relatives?

Years ago the news sources would occasionally mention the Katrina refugee- crime correlation. A generation or two later, it's never mentioned on the news. But don't think there's not a correlation. A large population of very violent, criminal gang members were relocated to Houston.

For a lot of the areas on the "least scenic road" thread, the inflection point for the areas turning sharply downward was 2005 when thousands of Katrina refugees got relocated into apartments and hotels in those areas.

Next door neighbor in Lake Jackson was a counselor at the high school. He said the same thing. All the Katrina kids that transferred into Brazoswood were at least two grade levels behind.

The Water Boy is a documentary. It's not a comedy.

Ah the glory days of old Houston.

since this directed at me, I'll respond.

1. I don't think you were even alive during this period, or if you were, you were maybe in diapers. My sense of the city was as a teenager who lived here then. So, maybe you can learn something from people who were here and lived it.
2. Using an anecdotal fallacy doesn't win an argument.
3. In defense of the police (and believe me I'm not 100% in their corner all the time). If you have no body and no evidence of a crime then what are the police to do? We didn't have cameras in every intersection, or cell phones that tracked your movement back then. Also, the incidence of kids "running away from how" was much higher in the 70's than it is now - I knew of a lot of kids who ran away from home for at least a few days. The logical conclusion for the police was indeed that they had run away. It would be highly illogical to suggest one of the worst mass murderers in history was on the loose with zero evidence. The kids disappeared from The Heights, Spring Branch, West U, Pasadena. etc over three to four years. Most of those areas were low to middle class at best areas income areas that probably had their share of runaways.

Now back to tracking the current culture rot taking over the city.

I'm really not trying to "win" any argument here.

I just think we have a romanticized view of what Houston "used to be".

In reality, it's always had it's fair share of crime, corruption, general incompetence from leadership. We're actually kind of famous for it.

I just highlighted one of the most grievous examples from Houston lore.

Got it. Yes Houston has always been a little rough and tumble. Port cities and places that are high in blue collar jobs tend to be.

I'll just never forget when the HPD officer was host and everyone turned on their headlights in a spontaneous show of support. It was probably an AM radio station that spurred it on.

As the old saying went - Houston is a Whiskey and Trombone kind of town.

Houston Housing Authority was something else under Turner's administration. Gotta respect the hustle.

This Chris Senegal looks like the perfect "local Houston developer" character for Houston grift. Straight of of The Wire.

https://www.instagram.com/chrissenegal/
Quote:
The investigation revealed that HHA purchased a former church property in Houston's Fifth Ward for $11.4 million - nearly $5 million more than what the previous owner paid just two and a half years earlier.

Chris Senegal, a developer who markets himself as "Mr. Buy the Block," initially purchased the Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church property, known locally as "The Dome Church," for $6.7 million in December 2020.

And just when you thought the Turkey Leg Hut saga couldn't get any stranger comes this:

Turkey Leg Hut Co-Owner Charged With Helping Kidnapper

Quote:
Turkey Leg Hut co-owner Nakia Holmes was arrested Wednesday for allegedly helping a wanted felon avoid arrest, authorities say.

Holmes is accused of helping Johnathan Saizon, who was arrested for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting his ex-girlfriend.

Saizon, 38, faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault of a family member.

Authorities allege that on Oct. 8, he went to his ex-girlfriend's home, forced her into his vehicle, and assaulted her over several hours, including with a tire iron, before releasing her at a hospital. She sustained serious injuries that required medical attention.
