Authorities are asking for your help finding
a teenager they say is connected to a deadly
shooting in the Humble area. His name is Adam Pineda.
He's 21 years old and he was shot to
death inside of his truck along a neighborhood street.
Fox 26's Jillian Hartman joining us now
live what we know about this investigation, Jillian.
Yeah, so right now deputies are looking
for 17 year old Jaden Jackson.
They actually believe he may be in Portland, Oregon currently.
So he's been charged in connection to Adam's death
and I spoke with Adam's mom
who tells me she wants justice for her son.
It's been a very traumatic experience, but most importantly, I have
to remember the person that Adam is and he will always go out his way
for other people and he would never ask anybody to do anything for him.
And as his mom, this is the least that I can do.
He didn't deserve to be killed in such a brutal way.
It's been about 10 months since 21 year old Adam Pineda was shot and
killed inside his truck along Vista Dale Avenue in Humboldt.
Now the Harris County Sheriff's Office is asking for
the public's help finding a teen accused in this case.
Deputies say 17-year-old Jaden Jackson has been charged with aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the shooting.
According to the sheriff's office, on January 10th,
Pineda arranged to meet Jackson and several others to sell THC vapes.
They say Jackson and three other males approached
the driver's side of Pineda's truck.
Around the same time, investigators said a second suspect,
19-year-old Thomas Osborne, showed up from a wooded area.
Moments later, Jackson and Osborne allegedly pulled out handguns
and opened fire, hitting Pineda twice and he died on scene.
Jackson, Osborne and the others
then took off. Both Jackson
and Osborne have been charged in connection with Pineda's death,
but Jackson remains at large.
Pineda's mother is pleading for the public's help.
I'm asking that please speak up and do the right thing.
Adam's not gonna come back and that's one of the hardest things.
We are facing, we as a family are facing the life sentence.
So as traumatic as it is, I will always be Adam's voice.
Yes, Adam made a choice.
I will be honest about my son's choice, but those individuals.
Made a choice and it did not have to come to murder
and they chose to do that and that's
heartbreaking if Jayden could be held in custody
because he's running from it and he's not
trying to be accountable.
We need this person to be put away and face the consequences for
his actions so he won't hurt another individual as he's taken
so much already from us and
We can't get Adam back, unfortunately.
Hearing her say that we are serving
a life sentence stops you in your tracks.
Now, if there is someone out there, Jillian,
if they may know something, no matter how
small, who should they be reaching out to?
So they definitely should be reaching out
to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
So investigators are asking anyone if they saw him,
heard from Jackson, know his whereabouts
to come forward.
Again, we do believe he may be in Portland, Oregon.
And also people can call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS.
All right, Jillian, thank you so much.
