A woman is now the fourth person charged in a deadly home invasion that left two men dead in Houston.
Houston police say 24-year-old Jozalyn Lawrence is charged with capital murder for her alleged role in the shooting that happened around 3:10 a.m. on January 21, 2022, at a home in the 7100 block of Avenue Q.
Three other suspects, Jacob Lee St. John, 24, Raul Gallegos, 23, and Damien Vega, 22 are also charged with capital murder.
Police identified the victims as Juan Ramirez, 41, and Apolonio Alvarado, 37.
Investigators say multiple masked suspects forced their way into the home and began shooting and assaulting the victims before fleeing on foot. Alvarado died at the hospital, while Ramirez later died from his injuries on June 1, 2023. A third victim was treated and released.
Gallegos and Vega are currently in custody with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on unrelated charges. St. John was arrested in December 2025.
Lawrence was arrested Tuesday (March 10) by HPD’s Southeast Patrol Division Crime Suppression Team and charged for her alleged role in the case.
