Two Suspects Arrested in Richmond Avenue Security Guard Shooting

Houston police have arrested two men, Brandon Brewster, 30, and Makahri Harold Brewster, 21, in connection with the shooting of two security officers that occurred at 9366 Richmond Avenue early Sunday morning.

Both suspects are charged with two counts of aggravated assault of a security officer in the 337th State District Court. Booking photos are currently unavailable as both individuals are hospitalized.

According to HPD Major Assaults and Family Violence Division investigators, officers responded to a shooting call at a business strip parking lot and spoke with two security guards. The guards reported attempting to escort the suspects out of a club when the suspects initially drove away but then returned, parked elsewhere in the lot, and began firing at them. One security guard returned fire, fearing for the safety of himself, his colleague, and remaining patrons. The suspects then fled.

While officers were collecting statements, two men with gunshot wounds arrived at a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Responding officers found firearms in plain view and multiple bullet holes in their vehicle. Further investigation linked these men to the initial shooting, and both were subsequently charged.

Neither of the security guards sustained injuries in the exchange of gunfire.

Anyone with additional information about this case is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
