Footage Captures Chaotic Southeast Houston Shooting That Left One Dead, 13 Injured
HOUSTON, TX — A mass shooting at a family gathering in Southeast Houston early Sunday morning has left one person dead and 13 others injured, according to the Houston Police Department.
The incident occurred around 12:50 a.m. in the 6000 block of Cherryhill Street.
According to HPD Assistant Chief Patricia Cantu, the violence began after an uninvited guest was asked to leave the party.
As the individual was departing, he allegedly opened fire on the crowd. Several partygoers returned fire, escalating the situation into a widespread and chaotic gunfight.
HPD officers arrived on scene within three minutes of receiving the initial emergency call.
Upon arrival, officers encountered a highly volatile and active scene. Gunfire was still being reported in the surrounding area as police worked quickly to secure the premises.
Victims were found across multiple locations around the party venue.
Emergency medical services transported several of the wounded to nearby hospitals, while others were driven to medical facilities by private vehicles.
Notably, three shooting victims were dropped off at a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant located on Long Street near Loop 610.
In total, 14 individuals sustained gunshot wounds. One person has been confirmed deceased, while several others remain in critical condition undergoing surgery.
The remaining victims are reported to be in stable condition.
Multiple individuals have been detained for questioning, though authorities have not confirmed whether the suspected shooter is among them.
Investigators are currently working multiple connected crime scenes related to the incident.
HPD is urging anyone who attended the party but left before police arrived—or who may have transported victims to hospitals—to come forward.
Witnesses or individuals with information are encouraged to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division at (713) 308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
“This is a very active and complex investigation,” Assistant Chief Cantu stated. “We’re doing everything we can to identify all involved parties and ensure those responsible are held accountable.”

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
