Jamil Melvay Penix, 23, was shot and killed on May 23, 2016, at the Kings Row Apartments on Barberry Drive in Houston. Visiting from Detroit to explore job opportunities, he was working on a music video in the apartment complex parking lot when witnesses heard several gunshots. Penix was later found on the east side of the complex and pronounced dead by paramedics.
The Houston Police Department has not identified a suspect or a clear motive, and the investigation is ongoing. The complex has a history of violence, and some residents and legal experts have questioned whether security measures at Kings Row Apartments could have been more effective.
