HOUSTON – A man has been charged in the deadly shooting of another man in Meyerland earlier this week.

Markell Deon Davis, 19, is charged with capital murder in connection with the death of Gabriel Coleman.

Police said Coleman, 37, and a witness were in a vehicle Monday afternoon when they picked Davis up in the 8900 block of Chimney Rock. Coleman was in the front passenger seat when investigators say Davis grabbed him around his neck, and pointed a gun at his head.

The witness stopped the vehicle in the 5400 block of Caversham near Braesmont Drive and Braesvalley Drive, west of Chimney Rock and north of N. Braeswood Blvd., and jumped out when he told police he heard a gunshot, then Davis running off.

Davis was arrested Thursday night.

Coleman was a father of four, who worked as a power washer.

It was the second fatal shooting in the area. A 10-month-old boy was shot and killed two weeks ago.
