Authorities searching for 'Big O'

HOUSTON On Saturday, September 19, at around 5:30am, Traveon Brown reportedly received a phone call from Tommy Jacobs, also known as "G-Town." Authorities say Jacobs wanted to know if he could come over to Traveon's apartment. He arrived at the apartment with Broderick Batiste also known as "Big O."

Once inside, Batiste allegedly pulled out a gun and demanded money from Traveon. Officials say Batiste then shot Traveon, who died as a result of his injuries. After the shooting, police believe Broderick Batiste and Tommy Jacobs fled to the Texas City/Galveston area where they live.
