A 42-year-old woman is expected to recover after she was shot during an attempted robbery at an apartment on Fleming Drive in northeast Houston last night.

Police say the woman answered the door for a man she knew from across the street, who asked the 52-year-old man she lived with for some change. At about the same time, two armed men rushed up the stairs and demanded money.

The 52-year-old started to fight with one of the men for his pistol, and the other fired twice, hitting the woman once in the hip while she was in the living room. She was taken to a local hospital.

All three men fled without taking anything, and police say the suspect who struggled with the resident kept his pistol but left behind a shoe and a phone. Police believe the man who knocked was working with the two armed men.

Two suspects are now charged with murder in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Jermaine Fields at the Ashford Stancliff Park Apartments in southwest Houston earlier this year.

Houston police say officers responded to the complex just before 11 p.m. on January 27. There, they found Fields suffering from a gunshot wound inside an apartment. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and seeing four to six unidentified males fleeing the location shortly afterward.

Investigators later identified Leo Flores and Geovanni Garcia as suspects in Fields’ death.

Garcia was arrested last week and charged with murder. Court records show he remains in custody with bond denied on the murder charge.

However, Flores was arrested back in May. His bonds were set at $150,000 for murder and $30,000 for evading arrest with a vehicle. Flores has since bonded out and is not in custody.

A woman in her early 20s was riding her bicycle to work last night when an SUV struck her on Pitts Road in Katy.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says an off-duty deputy spotted the SUV with heavy front-end damage in a gas station parking lot. The driver told him she had hit something in the road. The deputy then found the woman in the roadway and responding deputies performed CPR. Paramedics pronounced her deceased at the scene.

As the off-duty deputy went to make contact again with the suspect, she fled, and another driver picked her up and took her to a nearby residence.

She was taken into custody and charged with failure to stop and render aid.

Investigators are also looking into the other driver to determine if charges will be filed.

A hearing on a protective order filed against Sarah Fields drew a large crowd and officers from multiple agencies to the Harris County Juvenile Justice Center earlier today. The protective order involved Fields and two other women who enhanced an audio recording they said suggested possible foul play in the Nolan Wells case. Fields had allegedly started to harass the two women online because of the audio recording.

People on both sides yelled inside before the hearing and again outside afterward, where officers gathered before the crowd dispersed peacefully without violence.

Dr. Candice Matthews and Quanell X attended in part because Dr. Matthews alleges Texas attorney CJ Grisham, who represented Fields in the protective order hearing, called Black women “bitches” and “hoes.”

The case was dismissed for not meeting the criteria of a protective order.
