A shooting in Killeen on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, left one man dead and three others injured on the 6100 block of Griffith Loop.
At 6:48 p.m., Killeen Police officers responded to reports of a shooting victim. Upon arrival, officers discovered 52-year-old Jahid Hombre Black suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Despite emergency medical efforts, Black was pronounced dead at 7:23 p.m. at the scene by Justice of the Peace Gregory Johnson.
Three additional victims—a 10-year-old boy, a 12-year-old boy, and an 18-year-old male—were also present in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Two of them sustained gunshot wounds, while the third was injured in a subsequent vehicle crash.
All three were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Their conditions remain unknown at this time.
A 16-year-old male suspect was taken into custody at the scene and transported to the Bell County Juvenile Detention Center.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the victims had stopped at the suspect’s residence before the shooting.
Authorities believe the victims and the suspect were acquainted, and a brief conversation took place before the suspect opened fire on the vehicle.
As Black attempted to flee, the vehicle crashed two blocks away.
Detectives have classified the shooting as an isolated incident and assured the public that there is no ongoing threat.
Following reports of the shooting, Killeen Independent School District officials evacuated a middle school track meet at Shoemaker High School as a precautionary measure.
Superintendent Jo Ann Fey later clarified in an email to parents that the shooting did not occur on school property.
The evacuation was ordered out of an abundance of caution to prioritize student safety.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
No additional information has been released regarding potential charges or court proceedings against the suspect.
City of Hammond, Louisiana — At approximately 11:50 p.m. on February 24, 2026, officers with the Hammond Police Department responded to a report of shots fired involving one possible victim.
Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old juvenile female, identified as Tyronai Reed, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
