Houston Police Department investigators are actively searching for an unidentified suspect wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of LePaul Warren, a 17-year-old senior at Westbury High School. The incident occurred on the morning of September 25, 2026, just steps from the school campus on Dryad Street near 11911 Chimney Rock Road. Warren, a varsity football wide receiver and basketball shooting guard, was shot and killed while in an area frequented by students before school hours. Witnesses reported hearing a single gunshot and seeing Warren on the ground; a coach attempted CPR but was unable to save him. The suspect is described as wearing all black and a ski mask. Following the shooting, Westbury High School entered secure mode, sheltering students and staff in locker rooms until a controlled release was arranged for parents. Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz confirmed that the school itself was never in danger and that all students and staff remained safe inside. Detectives are reviewing surveillance video from a nearby apartment complex and conducting door-to-door inquiries. Additionally, 25 Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have been deployed to assist in searching nearby apartment buildings and wooded areas. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities utilizing license plate readers and witness interviews to track down the shooter. The Houston Independent School District has canceled all after-school activities and provided crisis counselors for the community. Police are urging anyone with cell phone video, dash cam footage, or home surveillance that may assist in the identification or location of the suspect to contact the Houston Police Department immediately.
