HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A 19-year-old was arrested and charged in the shooting death of a man last year in the Alief area, the Houston Police Department said.

Jaylen Young is charged with murder after 21-year-old Sean Trevon Hampton was reportedly found shot to death on Oct. 22, 2022, at 11800 Spring Grove Drive at about 12:15 a.m.

HPD officers said they discovered Hampton in the street outside of a car suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital, where he later died, police said.

According to court documents, Young is accused of shooting and killing Hampton, his sister's boyfriend, because he physically assaulted her.
