HOUSTON, TX — Demeche Williams, 36, was arrested Nov. 5 on a murder charge in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Steven Williams Jr. in the parking lot of Oakmoor Apartments in southwest Houston.

Houston police said the shooting happened about 11:50 a.m. Sept. 1, 2025, at 11900 Oakmoor Parkway. Responding officers found Steven Williams unresponsive with at least one gunshot wound. Paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene.

A witness told investigators Demeche Williams came to the apartment demanding to speak with Steven Williams and was angry about an Instagram post the victim had made, according to the criminal complaint. Investigators said doorbell footage showed Demeche Williams holding a handgun outside the apartment.

A neighbor told detectives an armed man followed Steven Williams to a silver sedan in the parking lot and pushed the car door shut as Williams tried to get in. The neighbor said the gunman shot Williams twice, then aimed at him on the ground and fired a third shot. The gunman drove away in another silver sedan, according to the complaint.

The murder complaint was filed the day of the shooting. Members of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders’ Task Force arrested Demeche Williams more than a year later and booked him into the Harris County Jail. Jail records listed his bond on the murder charge at $1 million as of Nov. 9. The case is in the 176th State District Court.
