19-year-old arrested for alleged connection to 2 separate METRO shootings, court records show

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police say she was at the center of two separate METRO shootings this month.

According to charging documents, 19-year-old Asia Law was booked into the Harris County Jail on Thursday morning.

According to court documents, on July 14, Law was at a McDonald's and became agitated that she had to wait for a cup of water.

Investigators say she told the cashier, Deneka Clivens, "I'm going to spare your life today, and you're lucky that you're at work," and then threw the cup of water at her.

Police said that after her shift, Clivens was in a car with Devron Bernard when they pulled up to a METRO bus stop across from the McDonald's to talk to someone they knew. Police saw Law at a METRO bus stop on Tidwell, and that's when she allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot at their vehicle, hitting it three times.

The following day, Houston police investigated a deadly shooting near a bus stop on Antoine.

The Houston Police Department said a man trying to get onto a METRO bus started physically assaulting the driver.

Police say Law was also on that bus, and through surveillance video, they saw Law get off the bus, wait for the man to exit, and then shoot and kill him.

Witnesses say they heard at least two gunshots ring out. The man was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Investigators said Law later reached out to an ex-girlfriend and said she was the person involved in the Antoine fatal shooting.

Earlier this week, ABC13 reported that major crimes within METRO's jurisdiction are on the rise.

According to METRO data on their site, there were 378 of what they call "major" crimes in the 12-month period from October 2023 to September 2024.

In just the past seven months, DPS data shows that METRO PD investigated 325 violent offenses.

METRO is responding by stating that the increase in numbers is because, before 2025, METRO did not report crimes within city limits to DPS. They have not responded when asked why that change happened.

METRO told ABC13 that major crimes include: criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, burglary of a motor vehicle, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.
