What happened
The shooting happened at 9:43 p.m. inside DD Sky Club, located at 2217 Chenevert St.
According to a security guard at the club, there were two shooters. The security guard told investigators he had never seen the suspects before and searched them before they entered the club, police said. The security guard said the suspects didn’t have any weapons on them, so he believes they snuck the guns into the club. Investigators said the security guard believes the shooters came looking for the victims, police said.
Houston police said a fight broke out inside of the club and escalated when two armed men fired several shots at the victims. The suspects then fled the scene.
Further investigation led to the identities of Williams and Hall as suspects in this case and they were charged on Tuesday.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the two suspects is asked to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
