#RIPKendra has been trending on social media today after a 19-year-old young lady named Lee Kendra Childs, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas on Tuesday afternoon, Sep. 13, in a drive-by shooting at an east Houston apartment complex, just a day to her 20th birthday.
The deceased’s boyfriend came home to find his girlfriend and mother of a 2-year-old daughter shot to death in a bedroom in their second-story apartment. The boyfriend quickly ran out of the home to seek help and called the police, Sgt. Mark Holbrook, of HPD’s Homicide Division, said.
According to police, witnesses saw someone in a newer-model, black Chevrolet Camaro with standard rims and tinted windows firing multiple rounds into the apartment.
