That was in Greenspoint aka Gunspoint. My wife works there and I make several stops in that area. It's not a place to be after dark.

In the same area this happened a few days ago. 14 year old Girl shot in the back and killed in a robbery attempt. They're just animals that need to be hung right on Greens Rd. with all the locals there to see it.

HOUSTON—The family of a 14-year-old girl who was murdered last weekend showed up in court Friday.

Although the two suspects charged in the crime didn’t physically appear in court, both were assigned attorneys.

The family of 14-year-old Shatavia Anderson came out to speak about the young girl’s murder and were seen embracing inside the courthouse. Though they were not able to see the men police say are responsible for Anderson’s death, the family said they wanted to be there nonetheless.

Anderson was robbed and killed Saturday less than 100 yards from her family’s apartment in the 1100 block of Langwick Drive, police said. Police said the crime happened at about 12:30 a.m. as Anderson walked to the intersection of Greens Road and Wayforest.

Melvin Alvarado, 22, and Jonathan Ariel Lopez-Torres, 18, confessed that they were involved in the robbery and shooting, police said.

Police said Alvarado shot Anderson in the back and Torres drove the getaway vehicle. Both of the suspects lived in the area where Anderson was robbed and killed, police said.

Detectives said the suspects saw the girl walking home alone and decided to rob her. Anderson fought back as Alvarado attempted the robbery, Houston Police Sgt. Billy Bush said.

"Something happened between them. She pushed off, and at that point she ran and he says he shot her in the back," he said.

Police said they started getting tips Tuesday after they put out a composite sketch of one of the suspects.


"Both of them show to have a criminal history, not a significant criminal history, but they both have been arrested," Bush said.

Anderson’s family members were angered when they learned Alvarado was an illegal immigrant from El Salvador and had previously been deported from the U.S. twice.

"What I’m trying to figure out is how they started coming over here and they can do whatever they want," said Anderson’s uncle Joe Lambert. "What you doing is giving them the green light, tellin’ them, ‘Hey, you can come over here and do what you want.’ It’s a prime example, that guy.."

Torres, a legal immigrant from Honduras, had no prior criminal convictions.

The two men appeared in a probable cause court on Thursday.

A judge refused to set bail.

Alvarado and Lopez-Torres are expected to be appear before a judge at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center on Friday.

Anderson’s funeral is planned for Saturday at 10 a.m. at Canaan Missionary Baptist Church located in the 5000 block of Lockwood.

Her family set up a memorial fund at Capital One Bank.

According to the Houston Chronicle today, 8/17/10, the coaches story is not checking out. You dont think he would lie to the police do you. He was shot at a by the hour motel, I wonder what he was doing there??? The only one I know who frequents the by the hour motels are whores, pimps, crackheads and dope dealers. You be the judge, the plot thickens.
