HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Authorities in Harris County are on the lookout for a suspect after a fatal shooting took place in a west Harris County neighborhood on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred in a grassy alleyway off Silverhawk Drive near Clay and Greenhouse, just blocks away from the victim’s residence.
According to officials, the victim, identified as 20-year-old Jyron Johnson, was shot multiple times during what is believed to have been a meeting between the victim and the suspect. Although it is unclear whether the two individuals were acquainted prior to the meeting, authorities have ruled out any involvement of drugs in the transaction.
