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.

“For more than 30 years, Houston Methodist has served some of the most vulnerable across the Greater Houston area,” Easter said. “We are proud of this expanded partnership with Legacy Community Health in Pasadena and know the community will benefit from the much-needed quality resources available at this new clinic.”

The soon-to-be, two-story, 40,000-square-foot clinic, designed by Kirksey Architects will provide services including adult and pediatric primary care, obstetrical services, behavioral health, dental care, pharmacy services, and wraparound support services, ensuring holistic and accessible healthcare solutions.

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. 

Houston Methodist, known for its excellence in healthcare delivery and academic contributions, continues to play a vital role in supporting initiatives that promote community well-being. Through its diverse programs and services, Houston Methodist reaffirms its dedication to advancing healthcare and improving patient outcomes.

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?

Community celebrates 1st year since 1st Hispanic four-star general Richard E. Cavazos was honored with renamed U.S. Army post

Community celebrates 1st year since 1st Hispanic four-star general Richard E. Cavazos was honored with renamed U.S. Army post

By Indira Zaldivar & Edward Saenz

The community celebrated the first anniversary since the Fort Hood army post in Texas was renamed to honor the U.S. Army’s first Hispanic four-star general Richard Edward Cavazos.

Numerous local elected officials, veterans, and advocates spoke on the decorated Korean and Vietnam wars vet’s legacy during the remembrance ceremony at the American Legion Harrisburg Post 472 in Magnolia Park in Houston, Texas on Wednesday.

“General Cavazos, he was a distinguished servant and an exemplary leader,” said Texas Rep. Christina Morales during the speech. 

Cavazos was born in Kingsville, Texas. A son of Mexican American cattle ranch farmers, Cavazos followed in his World War I veteran father’s footsteps after his college football career ended and after graduating with distinction with a degree in geology from Texas Tech University. 

In his 33 years of distinguished service in the military, Cavazos leadership earned him multiple service medals including not one, but two Distinguished Service Crosses (the second-highest military award), a Silver Star, five Bronze Stars and a Purple heart. 

“He led with courage but also broke barriers for countless others,” Morales added.

“General Cavazos was more than a military leader, he was a community leader.”

“His commitment to serve continued well beyond his retirement advocating for veterans affairs and contributing to the empowerment of our youth through educational programs.” 

Cavazos passed away in 2017 after complications from Alzheimer’s. But in his 88 years of life, he impacted many others, and his legacy lives on. 

For retired Texas Army National Guard major general Rick Noriega, the renamed Fort Cavazos, amplifies Cavazos’ legacy and serves as a “springboard to see how much more work” the community has to do locally to recognize local heroes. 

“The community has come together to recognize that high honor and also to build on the momentum of the naming and recognizing of Latino, not just military, but other heroes throughout our community,” Norriega told Que Onda Magazine upon conclusion of the remembrance ceremony. 

“We come together to look for opportunities to acknowledge and name other significant items throughout our community be they, streets, or buildings, or bridges, or parks so that our children understand the shoulders on what we stand on and continue and share the legacy and the rich history of all those who have done so much for us throughout the community.”

Que Onda Magazine’s publisher Gabriel Esparza also presented Lefty Cavazos, one of the war hero’s descendants in attendance, with a recognition in honor of his uncle’s legacy in the same American Legion that General Cavazos would visit. 

“He brought things to the army that weren’t there,” Lefty recalled of his uncle’s time as coronel in Kansas, “enchiladas.” 

Que Onda Magazine was a proud official media sponsor of the first-year anniversary of Fort General Richard E. Cavazos.

Scholarship alert: Media students invited to apply to HAHMP fall 2024 scholarships

By Edward Saenz

Eligible media students are encouraged to apply for a chance to receive a scholarship between $500 to $3,000 in the upcoming fall semester. 

The Houston Association of Hispanic Media Professionals, led by President and ABC13 anchor Mayra Moreno, is awarding scholarships to eligible deserving communication students in their junior, senior or graduate year. 

Over $800,000 have been awarded in scholarships in the 37 years as an organization. The application deadline is approaching, ending on June 30.

Knowing first-hand the financial boost of a HAHMP scholarship, Scholarship Chair Indira Zaldivar, invites students to apply to realize their dreams of graduating from college and breaking into a career in communications. 

“Not only may the scholarship provide a financial boost for the fall semester, but it may connect students to bond and feel supported by other Hispanic media professionals in our organization,” Zaldivar said. 

“Our organization strives to open doors for students to break into their desired careers and go on to contribute with their different experiences and skill sets to fulfill the needs of Houston’s diverse audience.”

The scholarship is open for students in their junior, senior, or graduate year who plan to enroll in the fall semester at any university in the U.S. or Puerto rico. 

“The HAHMP board has simplified the application process and have made the application available all online so that students can feel more encouraged to participate in this opportunity,” Zaldivar said.

Alvin ISD staffer accused of indecency, improper relationship with elementary school student

Alvin ISD staffer accused of indecency, improper relationship with elementary school student

MANVEL, Texas (KTRK) — An Alvin ISD elementary school employee was booked into the Brazoria County Jail after the district said he engaged in “inappropriate behavior” with a student.

Chason Bailey, who parents said worked with special needs students at E.C. Mason Elementary, is charged with child indecency and improper relationship between educator and student.

The misconduct allegedly took place on April 9, but parents said they only learned about the news in an email from the district sent on Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s really, really upsetting to know that these kids were put in danger (and) that the parents weren’t notified that that happened,” Brenna Webb, whose 6-year-old daughter attends the school, said.

In its email to parents, the district said it notified the victim’s parents when the incident occurred but couldn’t tell others because of the ongoing police investigation.

“I feel like it should have been stated, ‘Hey, there’s an active investigation going on. We’re looking into it,'” Webb said.

The district said Bailey was removed from campus as soon as the allegations were learned. He resigned shortly after the Alvin ISD Police Department began investigating.

Bailey was arrested on Tuesday after a Brazoria County grand jury indicted him.
