Silence from students hampers fatal nightclub shooting probe
Houston police named Demarcus Lee Watson as a suspect in the January fatal shooting of Jarrell Devon at a Houston nightclub. Ballistics matched a gun Watson had, but lack of cooperation from Baytown students delayed charges for over six months. Detective Rick Moreno said a tip led to Watson, who was arrested on unrelated charges the day after the shooting. The DA's office scrutinizes cases closely, and insufficient statements slowed progress until April ballistics were completed and interviews secured.
