Suspect Charged, Wanted in Fatal Shooting at 6303 Eastland Street

The suspect, Javunte Jerome Bradshaw, 30, is charged with murder in the 487th State District Court.  A November 2021 booking photo of Bradshaw, who is not in custody, is attached to this news release.

The victim is identified as Soldem Harris, 49.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant W. Dunn and Detective J. Gardner reported:

HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at a convenience store parking lot at the above address and found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds.  Officers provided medical assistance until Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived on scene.  The victim, later identified as Mr. Harris, was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

A preliminary investigation and evidence from the scene indicated Harris got into a physical altercation with the male suspect, which led to the shooting.  At that time, the suspect, described only as a heavy-set black male, fled the scene with two other males in a gray 2023 Toyota Camry with Texas license plates TFR2377.

On October 10, detectives released surveillance photos of the suspect, one of the males and the wanted vehicle.  All are attached to this news release.

Further investigation identified the suspect in the photo as Bradshaw.  After consulting with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Bradshaw was charged for his involvement in the incident.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Javunte Jerome Bradshaw, the person of interest or the wanted vehicle is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
