Elijah Edwards, 21, was shot to death in the early morning hours of April 28, 2025, inside a home on Dehay Lane in northwest Harris County. Deputies were called about 4 a.m.; homicide detectives later found Edwards had died from multiple gunshot wounds after a gathering at the house turned into an argument, then a physical fight, and finally gunfire. Reports describe the participants as people who knew one another rather than strangers, and investigators said the shooting appeared to have been committed by someone Edwards knew.

Authorities identified 20-year-old Xavier Garcia as a suspect and charged him with murder the same day; he was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail. Prosecutors reportedly sought a higher bond than the court set at $100,000. Subsequent reporting said Garcia allegedly violated bond conditions twice, including an accusation he cut the strap on his electronic monitor, but the bond was not increased.

Does anyone have information about the night of April 28, 2025, or about the people who were at that Dehay Lane residence?
