Suspect Charged, Wanted in Fatal Shooting at 5900 Greens Road

July 1, 2024- Charges have been filed against a suspect wanted in the fatal shooting of a man at 5900 Greens Road about 9:50 p.m. on Saturday (June 29).

The suspect, James Harris, 30, is charged with murder in the 262nd State District Court. A March 2024 booking photo of Harris, who is not in custody, is attached to this news release.

The identity of the victim, 28, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

HPD Homicide Division Detectives K. Hale and B. Stephens reported:

HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at an apartment complex at the above address and found an unresponsive man with multiple gunshot wounds lying on the ground across the front doorway of an apartment. Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the man deceased.

A preliminary investigation determined the victim had received a phone call from an acquaintance asking him to come outside and settle a dispute following a previous argument. The victim was shot multiple times by that person, who then fled on foot.

Further investigation and witness statements identified the suspect as James "Jay Foe" Harris. The Harris County District Attorney's Office was contacted and Harris was subsequently charged for his role in the shooting. Harris remains at-large.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of James Harris or in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
