Man accused of killing ex in NW Harris County in 2022 added to Houston FBI's most wanted list

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend is now on the FBI Houston's Most Wanted List, the agency shared on social media.

Javian D. Paley is charged with murder in the 2022 shooting death of Lashawn Grays in a case of domestic violence in northwest Harris County, according to authorities.

At the time, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the shooting happened at a complex in the 8500 block of Point Park Drive. Reports state that Grays was allegedly visiting one of the units when Paley forced himself into the place and shot her. Grays was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials said Paley was in custody but reportedly had his bond lowered and hasn't been seen since posting it.

ABC13 reached out to Grays' mother, who, in a statement, said this was a "failure of the system to honor victims and protect their families," adding, "We will not be silent. We will not stop fighting."
