Some good news to report. It looks like the murder rate is slowing down. Through the end of July there were 253 non-negligent murders in the city of Houston. That puts us at an EOY projected total of about 436 murders. Of course that is still much higher than any recent year.

Also, we have yet to see the August totals. The thugs can choose at anytime to stop "cheeeling".

Just going to guess that somebody was there doing something with somebody they weren't supposed to be doing things with and they got caught.

Yep that was my thought as well. Someone was stepping out on the other.

Just watch the HPD Chief's briefing and he said they arrived in two separate vehicles and met up with each and shots were fired at close range within 5-10 minutes of their arrival.

HOUSTON It has been three years since the brutal murder of a couple inside their Spring home.

To this day, the children of the beloved couple are continuing to fight for justice. With one of their parents' accused killers out on bond, the children are speaking out in hopes to be heard.

"They worked their butts off," said Michelle Lam while remembering her mother and father Bao and Jenny Lam who were both 61-years-old when they died.

"They emphasized education and working hard and doing what's right," Rich Lam, 38, said.

Rich said he will never forget the love of his parents and the lessons they taught them. He said they were loving parents who worked together to own several Subway locations throughout Greater Houston.

"My parents did this to support us and let us achieve our dreams," Michelle said.

Both Rich and Michelle said they will never forget the tragic crime that took the lives of their mother and father in January 2018. The couple was brutally murdered, execution-style, inside their Spring home on Glorietta.

Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies who have been investigating the double-murder said three suspects waited to get into the gated subdivision, located in the 16500 block of Glorietta Turn in Spring, then waited for the couple to enter the garage, and forced them into their home.

"These three men, they committed the most heinous act," Rich said.

Investigators arrested Khari Kendrick, his half-brother Aakiel Kendrick and Erick Peralta. All three men were charged with capital murder.

Investigators said the accused killers tied the couple's hands and feet and shot them in the head.

"They had no remorse," Michelle said.

The Harris County sheriff also noted that it was "bizarre" that the accused killers were seen on camera going in and out of the subdivision and home even after the couple was shot.

They even took my dad's car out for a joy ride," Michelle said.
Now, court documents show one of the accused killers, 24-year-old Erick Peralta, posted his $350,000 bond. The family of Bao and Jenny Lam were disheartened and disappointed.

"We cannot forget what they did to my parents and why they should still remain behind bars," Rich said.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office released the following statement:
Our prosecutor agreed with a defense-generated request asking the judge to set a $350,000 bond, as that is a hefty sum, and an appropriate amount, when coupled with an array of public safety conditions we requested, such as 24 hours a day house arrest and requiring the defendant to wear a GPS monitor to track his movements.

Following a hearing last year, the judge set bond at $350,000 for two similarly situated co-defendants in this case. The judge has agreed to our request that if the defendant is released on bond to supply prosecutors with all records relating to his pre-trial supervision, and if he breaks any conditions, the state will immediately ask that the judge order him back into custody.

if this is the same judge, which i think it is based on comments in that other article, at least he was smart enough to give this guy no bond

From the article:
According to our partners at the Houston Chronicle, the two officers involved are with the department's major offenders division.

The major offenders division routinely deals with dangerous criminals, including accused murderers.

Prayers for that officer and his family.

And I would hazard to guess it is much more common than we imagine.

Multiple law enforcement sources tell me this is the suspect in this morning's shooting of two @houstonpolice officers. Deon Ledet, 30, has 18 arrests on his record, including burglary, evading, aggravated assault with deadly weapon, and drug charges.

The @HarrisCountyDAO office requested a hearing to deny bail on the two latest drug charges (Nov. 2020), but a judge granted him $10K and $20K bonds. Ledet was released, but then failed to show up and get a GPS ankle montior, per court records.

An arrest warrant for bond foreiture on the narcotics charges was later issued. @houstonpolice officers William "Bill" Jeffrey and Sgt. Michael Vance were trying to serve that this morning when they were shot.

KPRC 2 has obtained a bond condition violation report indicating Ledet did not report for an ankle monitor in November of 2020.

Court documents indicate that in 2021 Ledet had bond amounts increased to $20,000 and $40,000. The address on the most recent bail bond document matches the address of the apartment complex where Monday's shooting occurred.
