Houston police are investigating a tragic incident involving a teenage boy who lost his life outside a Christmas party in southwest Houston. The heartbreaking event unfolded around 10 p.m. at an apartment complex on Burdine Street, near North Braeswood Boulevard in the Meyerland neighborhood.
Emergency responders were first called to the scene for what was initially reported as a medical emergency. However, when paramedics arrived, they discovered a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his head. Realizing the severity of the situation, they quickly notified the Houston Police Department.

What they do know is that the boy didn’t live in the apartment complex but was attending a Christmas party there. At some point, he stepped outside and never came back.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain a mystery, and police are asking for help from the public to piece together what happened. If you have any information about this incident, you’re urged to reach out to the Houston Police Department or call Crime Stoppers Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
