| Charges have been filed against one suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of a man at 8003 Orebo Street about 10:30 a.m. on November 21.
The suspect, Laderrick Dwayne Dixon Jr., 21 is charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the 177th Criminal District Court. A booking photo of Dixon is attached to this news release.
A second unidentified suspect, described only as young and slim black male, remains at large. Surveillance photos of the suspect is also attached to this news release.
The victim is identified as Kevin Fowler, 23.
HPD Homicide Division Detectives A. Finlay and B. Stephens reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at the above address and found Mr. Fowler with a gunshot wound inside his vehicle. Houston Fire Department Paramedics transported him to HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest where doctors pronounced him deceased on November 24.
Investigators learned the two suspects went to a short-term rental property to look for Dixon’s girlfriend. Unknown to the suspects, the rental had 2 units and they went to the wrong unit and made contact with Fowler. Believing the victim may have been involved in a relationship with the suspect’s girlfriend, the suspects fired at the victim’s vehicle as he was leaving the rental property. The victim was struck. Three other people inside the vehicle were not injured.
Further investigation identified Dixon as one of the suspects. He was already in the Harris County jail on unrelated charges and was subsequently charged for his role in this incident.
Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts of the wanted suspect is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
