A dispute between two neighbors in Baytown turned deadly Wednesday afternoon, leaving a 35-year-old man deceased and a 28-year-old woman facing a manslaughter charge.
According to the Baytown Police Department, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at approximately 4:50 PM, officers responded to a shooting in the 5100 block of Cinnamon Lane.
When officers arrived, they found a man unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound. Officers immediately began lifesaving efforts until EMS arrived, but the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Jaron Collins of Baytown.
According to the preliminary investigation, Collins and his neighbor, 28-year-old Angelica Chavez of Baytown, were involved in a verbal altercation while standing in the middle of the street.
During the argument, police say Chavez pulled out a firearm and shot Collins before returning inside her residence.
The situation prompted a response from the Baytown Police Department’s SWAT team and Hostage Negotiation Team.
After some time, Chavez exited her home and was taken into custody without incident.
Chavez has since been arrested and charged with manslaughter in connection with Collins’ death.
Baytown Police Chief John Stringer expressed condolences to those affected by the shooting and stated that the department remains committed to thoroughly investigating violent incidents and holding those responsible accountable.
Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division and Crime Scene personnel continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
