Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged a man with multiple counts of capital murder for his involvement in last month’s Haverstock Hills apartment shooting that left two people dead and four wounded. 

Kenneth Jones, 35, is not currently in custody but is expected to turn himself in to authorities, the sheriff’s office said Friday.

BACKGROUND: 2 dead, 4 injured in northeast Houston shooting


The fatal shooting took place March 26 in the 5600 block of Aldine Bender Road.

The victims who died in the gunfire were Christopher Beatty and Gary Wayne Rusher. Arthur Larkin, Ty’bra Baptiste, “Top Model” contestant Brandy Rusher and her other brother, Isiah Rusher, were injured.

THE CAUSE: Argument over people sitting on stairs sparked shooting that killed 2, wounded ‘Top Model’

Last month, investigators charged Harvey Jones, 34, with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to court documents. His brother, Jeremy Jones, 28, was charged with capital murder, but those charges were then dismissed. 

Kenneth Jones is black, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. He has a heavy build and a scar on his right arm.
