At the time of the shooting, investigators said they received a call from a woman who told them a man was getting sexually aggressive with her so she shot him and left. Authorities later identified the victim as 60-year-old Johnny Johnson, who had been renting the motel room for three days.

Authorities said the shooter, later identified as Symphony Griffin, left the motel after calling 911. Investigators said Griffin left in a Cadillac SUV that Johnson was driving when he checked in a few days prior.

Griffin is charged with murder and was arrested, Gonzalez announced via Twitter about a week after the shooting happened.

Whitmire joined leaders at the press conference to call attention to the violent crime plaguing Houston. He said criminals are getting too many chances to re-offend in Harris County.

"The 117,000 inmates, that's 30,000 difference from two years ago, where do you think they are? They're on the streets of Houston," said Whitmire. "Repeat offenders."

Whitmire gave Jeremiah Jones as a recent example. Jones is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend's 9-year-old daughter. Jones was out on five felony bonds at the time of the murder earlier this month.

"Criminals out there feel emboldened because they know they'll get out, they know they won't be held accountable," said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

Gun violence has taken an especially hard toll on Texas children.

"This year we've seen a 333% increase in the number of Texas children killed due to gun violence over the same reporting period last year," said Sydney Zuiker with Crime Stoppers of Houston. "Even if we eliminated the children lost in the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, the number of children killed in Texas is double what it was last year."

We had a Jugging in front of my house yesterday.

We are in Cypress and had a contractor visit. He was followed from a bank for 45 minutes after he took a cash withdrawal. He pulled up and came inside. They quickly smashed he window, open the console and took his $1000 and were gone. They could have easily followed him through our door if they wanted.

Cops call it Jugging. Be alert out there. Feels like bank tellers could text their pals in the parking lot about who has cash. He went to a bank in the Woodlands.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine near 290/spring Cypress. The cops setup a sting for the "juggers" and caught them a couple of days later. They said they were also checking on all of the bank workers because they think someone working there was texting the thieves when someone would withdraw a decent sum of cash.

We saw a lot living in Rice Military. We moved out to Cypress and wouldn't you know it, it followed us here too. More stuff has happened up to us here than inside the loop.

My point is that you can't escape this in the burbs. Harris Co is the problem IMO.

My kids are 5th generation GOOF. Things change all the time. Antoine effect is real. Every section is different on crime, building materials, size/ cost, and even sidewalks and culture.

My first question is always where in GOOF as the farther west they are, the more interesting things get.

There's definitely boundaries that identify the hood. Antoine, RR tracks, the bayou, Ella, etc.
