Charges have been filed against two suspects arrested in the fatal shooting of a man at 12100 Overbrook Lane about 7:40 p.m. on October 1.
One suspect, Cameron Grant, 18, is charged with murder in the 209th State District Court. A booking photo of Grant is attached to this news release.
A second juvenile suspect, 16,was arrested and referred to Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities on a charge of murder. Names and photos of juvenile suspects are not releasable.
The victim is identified as Joseph Sun, 45.
HPD Homicide Division Detectives H. Montealegre-Cerrato and G. Rangel reported:
Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at the above address and observed an unresponsive male on a sidewalk. He had suffered gunshot wounds. Paramedics pronounced the man, later identified as Mr. Sun, deceased at the scene.
Investigators learned the male was advised of a shoplifting incident and located the theft suspect seated alongside another suspect. The male confronted the suspects and an altercation ensued. It escalated when the male used pepper spray on the suspects and then ran after the suspects down a sidewalk. At some point, the two suspects fired shots at the male and then fled the scene on foot.
Further investigation led to the identification of one of the suspects as Grant. On Oct. 3, he turned himself in and provided a statement to detectives on his role in the shooting. Grant was subsequently taken to the Harris County Jail and charged.
The juvenile suspect was taken into custody on Nov. 1 and charged for his role in this incident.
