6 Houston shootings claim 3 lives and injure 6, in violent Saturday overnight

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — At least nine people were reportedly shot in six separate incidents overnight on Saturday across Harris County and Houston.

According to officials, the shootings spanned five hours and resulted in three deaths, marking a violent overnight period.

The first reported shooting occurred around 7:45 p.m., in northeast Houston. While details are limited, police said one person was shot on the 2900 block of Folger, near Wages Street, and confirmed that one person was detained.

In another reported shooting, three people were hospitalized after a car crash turned into a shootout at a northwest Houston intersection around 8:30 p.m.

Investigators said the drivers of two vehicles were involved in a minor crash on West Rankin near Ella before they pulled out guns and shot at each other. A 16-year-old bystander who was not related to the conflict was shot in the crossfire.

At about 9 p.m., a 16-year-old boy was killed and a 15-year-old boy was hospitalized after a shooting at an apartment complex on Place Rebecca Lane near Kuykendahl, according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies. Authorities have yet to determine whether the boys shot at each other or if both were victims, but they mentioned that witnesses reported seeing two black men in dark hoodies flee the scene immediately after the shooting. Deputies described one man as tall and skinny, and the second as short with dreads.

About 50 minutes later, a fatal shooting was reported on the 14100 block of Alderson Street.

At the scene, deputies reported finding an unresponsive man with multiple gunshot wounds in the driver seat of a gray Ford pickup truck.

Investigators said the truck was pulled over on the side of the road when a silver two-door vehicle shot into the truck and then fled eastbound on Alderson Street. There is currently no suspect description.

Around 10:30 p.m., one person was killed in a convenience store parking lot on McHard Road. According to investigators, a clerk heard gunshots before seeing a person down in the parking lot. Details are limited, investigators do not have a suspect or motive.

At about12:22 a.m. on Yellowstone Boulevard, a fight between a pizza delivery driver and a resident turned deadly when shots were reportedly fired at an apartment complex in Houston’s south side.

Houston Rockets score 4th straight top-4 draft pick, benefiting from James Harden trade

Houston Rockets score 4th straight top-4 draft pick, benefiting from James Harden trade

CHICAGO, Illinois (KTRK) — The Houston Rockets gained the right to select in the NBA Draft’s top-four for the fourth straight year, benefiting from the James Harden trade that set off seasons of futility but steady improvement.

On Sunday, Houston head coach Ime Udoka represented the team in Chicago, the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery’s site. The Atlanta Hawks, who entered the event with the second-lowest odds to jump into the prized top-four positioning, won the No. 1 pick.

Meanwhile, the Rockets entered the day with the possibility of earning two top-four selections. They held the Brooklyn Nets’ unprotected first-round pick, an asset acquired in the 2021 trade that sent the franchise’s former cornerstone player. The Nets, who missed the playoffs, held the sixth-lowest odds of entering the top four. Houston also had its own pick, which would convey to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the 2019 Russell Westbrook trade if it didn’t land between the first through fourth picks.

After the lottery process, Houston landed at No. 12 to fulfill its end of the swap with OKC. However, the Nets leaped from their projected No. 9 positioning to earn the No. 3 pick, which, you guessed it, automatically became an asset that Udoka, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, and general manager Rafael Stone can use or leverage in a trade.

The No. 3 pick follows a string of post-Harden era selections that landed high in the draft order. In 2021, Houston landed the No. 2 pick, the first of three in the first round. In 2022, the Rockets picked up the third pick, one of two selections in the first round. And last year, Houston cracked the top four with one other first-rounder.

As it stands, the No. 3 pick is Houston’s only first-round selection this year.

Who may land in Houston?

Unlike the 2023 draft, no clear-cut, transformative top prospect dominates the conversation.

But, like last year’s Victor Wembayama draft, a French teen is this year’s overall top prospect, according to ESPN.

France could go first and second – ESPN’s Jonathan Givony projects frontcourt players Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr, both teen phenoms overseas, will head to Atlanta and No. 2-picking team Washington.

Who would be left for Houston?

Givony sees University of Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard as Houston’s pick.

“Houston could look at plug-and-play options with this pic, considering the youthful roster construction. Shooting will likely be a priority this summer, and the dynamic shot-making versatility of Sheppard — who made over 50% of his 3s this season — could be attractive with this pick, along with his feel for the game and defensive instincts,” Givony wrote for ESPN+.

UConn center Donovan Clingan could also get a look as Alperen Sengun’s backup, Givony added.

Rockets’ first-round selections since 2021

2021

  • No. 2: Jalen Green, guard, Overtime Elite
  • No. 23: Usman Garuba, forward/center, Turkey
  • No. 24: Josh Christopher, guard, Arizona State

Rockets acquired No. 16 pick Alperen Sengun, drafted by Oklahoma City

2022

  • No. 3: Jabari Smith Jr., forward, Auburn
  • No. 17: Tari Eason, forward, LSU

Rockets acquired No. 29 pick TyTy Washington, drafted by Memphis

Houston police identify and arrest suspect involved in McDonald’s fatal shooting

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A suspect has been arrested in connection with a 46-year-old attorney’s death last weekend, according to court documents.

Anthony Martin Landry, 57, was charged with murder in the fatal shooting of 46-year-old Jeffrey Limmer.

ORIGINAL REPORT: Attorney’s sister says she’s not surprised he tried calming angry customer when he was killed

Officers responded to a shooting at a McDonald’s near the Katy Freeway, where police found Limmer unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigation by HPD revealed that Limmer tried to calm Laundry down, who was reportedly upset over his order and demanded a refund. Investigators detail in court documents that Landry was yelling racial slurs and was ‘irate.’

The court documents show that Limmer and Laundry then argued outside the building. Investigators said that Limmer pushed Landry to the ground and went back into the fast food restaurant.

Investigators then detailed in the court documents that Landry went to his truck and retrieved a gun and shot the attorney, before fleeing the scene in a blue Ford pick-up.

Police say they were able to track down the suspect and he was identified as the shooter by a witness.

Court documents and records show that Landry was out of jail on bond for assaulting a family member in February.

Landry is currently in jail without bond, awaiting his first court appearance.

Disturbing video shows suspect running over victim twice before kissing and stabbing his limp body

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Eyewitness News obtained a deeply disturbing video of a murder in broad daylight.

On May 3, the victim, Steven Anderson, was walking on Woodridge Square Drive to pick up mail when a car ran him over.

The suspect is 20-year-old Karon Fisher, identified in court records as a man but also described as a woman by police.

ABC13 edited the graphic video, pausing it before Anderson got hit.

The car reversed and hit him again, pushing him further into the street while neighbors frantically called 911.

One neighbor came out of the building with a pillow, and that’s when the suspect returned with a knife in hand.

The suspect can be seen flipping Anderson’s limp body over, straddling and kissing him before stabbing him nine times.

The suspect casually walked away as if nothing had happened, and neighbors watched.

“It’s very disturbing. I have kids here; they could have been out here playing, and imagine them,” one neighbor told ABC13.

The suspect could be seen trying to get into another car while talking to witnesses.

When that was unsuccessful, she leaped over Anderson’s body and walked away.

Fisher was charged with the 64-year-old’s murder and is being held on a $2 million bond.

“Broad daylight. People around every time and it happened right under our noses,” one neighbor said.

ABC13’s Brooke Taylor spoke to the neighbors, and it was too much for them to relive and talk about again.

One woman said she hasn’t been at work and is trying to find a therapist to speak with about this traumatic murder.

Records show Fisher was on community supervision for five years for evading arrest in 2023. Records show Fisher was also charged with prostitution in 2021, but the case was later dismissed.

She was also charged with assaulting a staff member at the hospital on the same day as the murder.

Legacy Community Health broke ground on a new affordable health clinic in Pasadena, Texas, on Friday, aiming to provide an array of healthcare services to a population with a high rate of uninsured patients “regardless of their ability to pay.”

Situated at 1951 Southmore Avenue in Pasadena, the underway Legacy Pasadena Southmore Clinic is a result of a generous $50 million gift from Houston Methodist to Legacy Community Health, showcasing a partnership of more than 25 years aimed at addressing the healthcare needs of underserved populations.

Cathy Easter, senior vice president of community development at Houston Methodist, emphasized the positive impact the clinic will have on improving healthcare resources in Pasadena before a crowd of Legacy and Houston Methodist leadership, board members, government officials, and community supporters at the ground breaking.

The Legacy Pasadena Southmore Clinic is scheduled to open its doors in 2025, marking a significant step forward in healthcare delivery in Pasadena. In addition to this clinic, Legacy is also developing another facility in the North Acres Homes area of Houston, further expanding its reach and impact in providing essential healthcare services.

This milestone underscores Legacy Community Health’s longstanding commitment to serving communities across Texas. As the largest Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in the state, Legacy operates over 57 clinic locations and serves more than 200,000 community members.

Montrose man uses taekwondo skills to defend dog from pitbull

Montrose man uses taekwondo skills to defend dog from pitbull

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Montrose man said his taekwondo training helped defend his dog after a pitbull attacked his pet during a walk.

Fred Schiller said it happened May 5 at the corner of Indiana and Morse streets when the pitbull charged toward him and his dog, Verve, from across the street.

“The next thing I know is that pitbull makes a beeline,” Schiller told Eyewitness News in an interview ONLY ON 13.

Schiller said the pitbull quickly took hold of Verve, chomping down on his neck.

“I started kicking the pitbull,” Schiller recalled.

But when the dog wouldn’t drop Verve, Schiller said he had to resort to more extreme measures.

“I took the pitbull to the ground, and I started punching him in the head,” he said. “I kept punching and punching. He wouldn’t drop him. My dog was screaming. His eyes were bulging out. I thought he was gonna die.”

Ellen Blasio said she tried intervening.

“Without thinking, I ran over to kind of grab the little dog,” she said.

Blasio was bitten multiple times on one of her hands. Schiller was also bitten on one of his hands but ultimately managed to restrain the attacking dog.

“I kept the pitbull pinned down with his head in mud ’cause I thought, ‘OK, if I let this thing up, I’m next,'” Blasio said.

That’s when Schiller said the dog’s owner drove up.

“She gets out of her car, and she says, ‘That’s my dog,'” Schiller remembered.

After days of trying, BARC finally tracked the owner down Thursday afternoon and said she agreed to bring the dog in for quarantine to watch for signs of rabies.

But BARC said she likely won’t be cited for having her dog off leash since none of its officers witnessed that for themselves.

“I said, ‘That’s all you’re gonna do?’ I said, ‘This dog almost killed my dog. It’s a danger,'” Schiller said.

BARC said Schiller could still go to a justice of the peace court and file to have the dog declared dangerous. A judge would then rule on the matter.

Lower humidity for Friday and most of Saturday until storms return Mother’s Day

Lower humidity for Friday and most of Saturday until storms return Mother’s Day

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A weak cool front moves through Friday morning. You can expect a delightful drop in the humidity for Friday and most of Saturday.

Highs will still warm into the 80s, but morning lows will be closer to seasonal averages in the mid-60s. Unfortunately, the drier air won’t stick around for the entire weekend, and by Saturday evening, rain could be returning to Southeast Texas.

The smoky haze from Mexico and Central America will continue to reduce the air quality.

Is Mother’s Day going to be a washout?

It’s possible, but confidence in the details remains low at this time. The weather pattern will feature a slow-moving upper air storm interacting with a warm front moving in from the Gulf of Mexico, so there is the potential for both heavy rainfall and severe weather. If you have any outdoor plans for Mother’s Day, you might want to draw up a plan B just in case while we sort out the details.

Small chance for severe storms Thursday, air quality remains bad

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — There’s a small chance for big thunderstorms with large hail on Thursday, otherwise it will be another steamy and hazy day as we await the arrival of a weak cool front.

Temperatures Thursday morning will only drop into the mid-70s, about 10 degrees warmer than normal. The steamy air will stick around through the afternoon allowing temperatures to warm to near 90 with a heat index near 100. That’s around the time we expect severe storms to start erupting over the Hill Country. Some of those storms could eventually impact Houston in the evening if they can overcome a “cap” of stable air aloft. If that cap holds, then there will be no storms in Houston. On the flip side, if the cap does not hold, any storms that blow through could have large hail and gusty winds. The chance of getting rain is low, but we want you to stay weather aware in case one of those severe storms does survive it’s journey from the Hill Country.

Whether or not it rains, the smoky haze from Mexico and Central America will continue to reduce the air quality.

Are there any more cool fronts coming ahead of summer?

We have a weak one penciled in for Friday! You can expect a delightful drop in the humidity for Friday and most of Saturday. Highs will still warm into the 80s, but morning lows will be closer to seasonal averages in the mid-60s. Unfortunately, the drier air won’t stick around for the entire weekend, and by Saturday evening, rain could be returning to Southeast Texas.

Is Mother’s Day going to be a washout?
