Houston shooting: Four suspects charged after man and 14-year-old girl wounded
Houston - The Houston Police Department is looking for four individuals charged in connection with a violent confrontation on June 17 that left a man and a teenage girl wounded.
The victims, a 29-year-old man, and a 14-year-old girl, were shot during the altercation around 6:20 p.m. at Trails of Ashford Apartments on Brant Rock Drive. They were transported to a nearby hospital, where they were reported to be in stable condition.
Candy Brooks Bryant, 42, now faces charges of deadly conduct and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Brothers Jhaudarien Butler, 20, and Jhaumel Duwuan Butler, 21, have been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Charzetta Je McNeal, 26, is facing charges of criminal mischief. All charges have been filed in the 174th State District Court.
HPD says the trouble began with a dispute between the male victim and a suspect identified only as "Eastside." Tensions quickly escalated, leading to a female suspect vandalizing the victim’s vehicle. This act of vandalism triggered a hail of gunfire that struck both the man and the teenage girl. The suspects fled the scene before authorities arrived.
