On the night of August 22, 2023, about 11 p.m., officers in Red Oak, Texas, responded to a shooting in the 200 block of Troy Lane. Eighteen-year-old Christian Claycomb was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and arms and was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on August 23, 2023. Investigators recovered spent shell casings, a firearm, broken vehicle glass, loose marijuana, and a cell phone at the scene.

Surveillance footage showed a black Dodge Charger approach Claycomb and a companion as they waited for a marijuana delivery. When the pair approached the vehicle, shots were fired from inside, striking Claycomb; the Charger then fled toward Cole Road. Analysis of Claycomb’s phone uncovered communications arranging a $150 marijuana purchase via Instagram and CashApp with an account named Solo Glizzock, which investigators linked to 22-year-old KamRon Wilson. Cell phone records placed Wilson’s device near the scene and a witness provided a description matching him. Wilson was arrested on December 8, 2023, and the investigation remains active as police seek additional suspects.
