Investigators have charged two men in the double murder of a man and woman in North Harris County.

Homicide Investigators have now charged two men, Jamari Martinez, 37, and Jamariyon Charles, 18, with capital murder multi for that incident.

On Tuesday, June 15th, 2021, at approximately 5:15 a.m., Harris County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office units were dispatched to 23770 Springwoods Village Place in reference to multiple discharge of firearms calls.

Responding deputies located several items, including firearms, which appeared to have been tossed from the second floor apartment where the gunfire was reported. 

Upon making entry into the apartment, they discovered a 34-year-old male and a 33-year-old female, both deceased from multiple gunshot wounds.
 
The lease holder for the apartment was not on location at the time of the deputies’ arrival and his current location was not known at that time. It was later determined that Martinez was the resident of the apartment.

HCSO Homicide investigators along with Crime Scene personnel took over the investigation.

Jamari Martinez is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail on an unrelated charge, and Jamariyon Charles is being held in the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center awaiting arraignment.
