Suspects arrested in deadly Tidwell Road shooting

The backstory:

On Jan. 16, Houston police were called to an apartment complex on West Tidwell Road between Antoine Drive and Bingle Road around 8 p.m.

When officers went inside, they found a woman, 38-year-old Shyta Campbell, suffering from a gunshot wound inside the apartment's entrance. Campbell was taken to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses told police there was an altercation between the woman in the apartment and multiple other people outside the apartment. The people outside the resident approached the door and started to argue with the woman.

Police say at one point someone pulled out a gun and the woman was shot. After that initial shot, more people began firing at the apartment and hit multiple apartment units with other residents inside.

The suspects, now believed to be King, Jones, and the 15-year-old, left the scene before police arrived.

After they were arrested, King was charged with burglary with intent to commit a felony, Jones was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and the teen was referred to the Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities on a charge of deadly conduct.

What's next:

The shooting will be referred to a Harris County Grand Jury.
