Houston police are investigating a fatal shooting at 2815 Dalview Street in Acres Homes after officers found Andre Jackson, 30, wounded in a driveway around 4:10 p.m. June 26. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced Jackson dead at the scene, and investigators said they still had no known motive or suspect.

The shooting happened near TC Jester Boulevard and Little York Road, in a part of northwest Houston that sits about ten miles from downtown and has long been one of the city’s most important African American communities. Acres Homes was founded in 1910 and was annexed into Houston from 1967 to 1974, a history that still shapes how quickly news of gunfire spreads through the neighborhood and onto social media.

Police are reviewing security footage and canvassing for witnesses, which puts a premium on doorbell cameras, porch video and anyone who was outside on Dalview Street when the shots were fired. For now, the unanswered questions are basic but urgent: whether Jackson was targeted, whether the killing was tied to a dispute, and whether the gunfire was part of a broader pattern along that stretch of Acres Homes. Investigators have not released a suspect description.

The city’s June 29 update identified Jackson and confirmed that officers found him suffering from gunshot wounds at 2815 Dalview Street. That same update said there was still no known motive or suspect and repeated the request for public help. Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers of Houston.

Nearby residents have reason to pay close attention to the case because the block is surrounded by homes and street traffic that can supply the details investigators need most. A single camera angle or a witness who noticed a vehicle moving through the area around 4 p.m. could help detectives narrow the search and determine whether the shooting was an isolated act or something that fits a larger security concern in Acres Homes.
