HPD Homicide Division Sergeant J.H. Roberts, Senior Police Officer B.D. Evans and Officer R.P. Houghton reported:

The victim, Mr. Mouton, was attending a gathering at a residence on Quail Park Drive when he and White began arguing. Following the argument, White threatened to have acquaintances assault Mouton for insulting her. Mouton and an acquaintance then left the gathering and went to a residence on Bell Blossom.

A short time later, White and two males arrived at the Bell Blossom location and one of the male suspects began to beat Mouton outside the residence. Mouton then ran inside the home and was chased by the male suspect who shot at Mouton one time. The bullet first struck the front door and then struck Mouton in the head.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspects, Thomas and White, is urged to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
