Early Wednesday morning in the Atascocita area, a 19-year-old was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the head, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators said the 18-year-old shot the 19-year-old in the head in an upstairs room of a home on Spring Brook Pass. The sheriff's office said two teenage girls told investigators the shooting was accidental and that the 18-year-old is a friend.
On Saturday, prosecutors filed a murder charge against Jayden Crawford, court documents said.
According to deputies, the suspect claimed the gun went off by accident, but investigators said they found evidence that the gun was shot multiple times in the bedroom.
