17-year-old charged in deadly shooting at Humble apartment complex
A 20-year-old man was shot dead at The Henry at Woodland Hills in Humble, and deputies have charged a 17-year-old girl with murder.
A 20-year-old man was found shot to death at The Henry at Woodland Hills apartment complex in Humble, and Harris County sheriff’s investigators say a 17-year-old girl has been charged with murder in the case.
Deputies identified the victim as Marcus Harris and the suspect as Jazlyn Easter. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the shooting happened Thursday night, May 29, 2026, in northeast Harris County near Woodland Hills Drive. Harris was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told investigators they heard a man and a woman arguing before gunshots rang out. They also saw a dark-colored vehicle leave the area. Investigators said Easter later returned to the apartment complex in the same vehicle and told deputies she had been there when Harris was shot. Sheriff’s officials have said they do not believe any additional suspects are outstanding.
The case has been described as a dating-dispute shooting, but deputies have not publicly laid out the nature of the relationship between Harris and Easter or said what led to the argument. That leaves key questions still open, including how the confrontation escalated so quickly and what role, if any, anyone else may have played before the shooting.
The call adds to a run of deadly apartment-complex violence in northeast Harris County, where law enforcement has been responding to fast-moving scenes that hinge on witness accounts, vehicle descriptions and immediate scene control. In this case, those early details appear to have helped investigators move quickly from a fatal shooting to a murder charge against a 17-year-old.
KHOU 11, ABC13 and FOX 26 Houston all reported the shooting in the Humble area, with deputies responding to the apartment complex on Woodland Hills Drive Thursday night. FOX 26 reported that witnesses heard arguing before the gunfire and saw a dark vehicle leave the location. Investigators have not said whether the charging decision against Easter will be followed by additional court filings or a public statement from the sheriff’s office.
