Dwight Swearington, 26, was shot multiple times and killed on August 17, 2015, in east Houston. The shooting happened shortly before 9 p.m. as he exited his vehicle outside his apartment in the 600 block of Maxey Road. Swearington was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The attack is described as sudden and targeted; the identity of the shooter or shooters remains unknown and the investigation is ongoing. The killing came during a year when Houston experienced a sharp rise in homicides — police reported a 46 percent increase in the murder rate for 2015 — and authorities asked the public to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers with any information.
Does anyone have information about that block of Maxey Road or saw activity around 9 p.m. on August 17, 2015 that could help investigators?
