We are here tonight because at approximately
seven fifty or nineteen, fifty hours,
seven fifty PM we received a shooting that
occurred in the thirty three hundred block
of Winburn Interior Wester, which is about
a few blocks away from this location.
And within minutes there was another
shooting that had occurred right here in
the thirty one hundred block of Anita.
Which the victim was was, I would say
shot right here on the bike trail.
Both of these incidents resulted
in two black men that are deceased.
They are approximately in their
20s and their 30s.
The incident that occurred at Winburn.
Involved one black male who.
Was wearing all black clothing.
He had a black hoodie, black pants.
He was wearing a red.
What do you call it? Face mask.
He went up to the complainant,
shot the complainant and then fled the scene.
He fled the scene about a block away.
He was seen getting into a red van.
So we are looking for a red van.
At this time.
We don't know if it's going to be a minivan,
a full size van,
but we do know that it is a red van.
The incident that occurred probably
within minutes here on the bike trail.
We do not have a description of suspects.
We do not know exactly how long this
complainant was laying on the bike trail.
We do know that it occurred during
daylight and we do believe that the
victim was deceased for a short
time before anybody called the
police and that's what concerns us.
We really need the community
to come together and report.
These incidents and provide as
much information as possible,
we are concerned.
That there may be a conflict.
OK,
and we want we need the community to
work together with the police and report
this information to homicide division.
You can talk to any officer from the
South Central Division within if if
you have any particular details.
The Homicide Division's phone number is
713-308-3600. Or you can call crime Crime
Stoppers and provide the information and
if you would want to remain anonymous,
we'll work with you to remain anonymous
because it is very important that
we stop this and we identify all
the individuals that are involved.
We don't know if these particular
incidents are connected at this time,
but we do know that they happen
within minutes of each other
or we do believe they happen.
Within minutes of each other.
I think that's all I have at this time.
Does anybody have any questions?
Just just to clarify that timeline,
the shooting at the convenience
store just called in about 750.
Yes, we think we. We believe that
happened right because because of the
information and the evidence at that
particular location, we do believe
that that happened right at 7:50.
Now we do believe this incident happened.
Around that same time,
but the problem is is that when HFD arrived.
Based upon the complainant's condition,
they believe that he had been
there probably 30 minutes or so,
which put which would put him around
the same time of the other incident
so. You found him the man over here after
the convenience. Yes, OK, but yeah,
we we got this call at about 8:30 tonight.
The other call we got at about 7:50.
PM but we do believe that this actually
happened earlier much earlier than the
time that we received the call based
upon the condition of the complainant.
Both both are deceased and we
believe there are black men
between the ages of 20 and 30.
Do you believe this is?
We're not able to quite
confirm the gang relationship.
But we do believe that there is a
conflict and that's why we are concerned
and we would like the Community.
To open up and provide us with as much
information as possible because you
just never know that you could be in
the wrong place at the wrong time.
And so out of protection for yourself,
your family, your own community, let's talk.
Let's talk about what's happening
and who's involved so that we can
hold those persons responsible.
How far apart are they?
It's the other incident happened
in the 3300 block of Winburn.
We're standing in the 3100 block of Anita.
And so we're talking maybe about
three to six blocks between
here all the way to Holman.
So it's it's would definitely
within walking distance.
About half a mile, OK?
Besides the red card.
No, we don't have anymore information
even we do know that the red car
was possibly waiting on Alabama St
in about the 3300 block of Alabama,
which was about a block
away from the Windburn.
We don't know which direction to travel.
If anybody has direction of travel
or which other they may have been
seen switching vehicles again,
but if anybody has that information,
we ask people to check your.
Cameras you know.
If you're if you live nearby,
you have a ring camera.
If you have a surveillance camera,
check those cameras just a little
bit of detail sometimes can help
us put that puzzle together.
We haven't recovered any weapons.
We've only recovered shell casings.
Did the you know it could be Mr had cameras.
I think that's a new law, right? Yes,
that convenience store usually has
cameras and we're basically reviewing
those cameras at this time to determine
if there's anything evidentiary.
