WHATABURGER PARKING LOT MURDER SUSPECT HELD 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER BEFORE SHOTS RANG, FAMILY SAYS
Darius Sims is charged with murder after 19-year-old Daniel Thompson was shot and killed in northwest Houston.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The family of Darius Sims, who is charged in the murder of a 19-year-old recent high school graduate, told Eyewitness News that an existing conflict with the victim's brother led to the deadly shootout in the parking lot of a Whataburger in northwest Houston.

Daniel Thompson was shot and killed on Tuesday outside of the restaurant located along the U.S. 290 service road near Hollister. Police said 27-year-old Sims, who was also wounded in an exchange of gunfire, was arrested after he drove away and went to a hospital.

On Wednesday, Sims appeared in Harris County Probable Cause Court where his bond was set at $200,000.

In the wake of the shooting, families of both Sims and Thompson have spoken to ABC13.

According to Sims' family, Thompson, who may have been off work on the day of the shooting, was called to the restaurant by his brother to confront Sims, who showed up with his 5-year-old daughter. The family claims Thompson punched Sims and may have also hit his daughter in the process inside the restaurant.

The incident spills out into the parking lot, where a witness records a shirtless Thompson squaring up on Sims while the victim's brother tries to hold Thompson back.

The video then shows Sims appearing to shoot Thompson, who detectives said was not armed. Thompson was hit point blank in the face before collapsing, at which point, Sims was recorded unloading on the victim.

Police said after Thompson was wounded, his brother went over to his vehicle, grabbed a gun, and shot back at Sims.

According to his family, Sims felt in fear of himself and his daughter. The family added that they are not condoning or justifying what Sims is accused of, but they offered to tell their side to Eyewitness News.

Meanwhile, more details emerged about Thompson's life. The victim's family said on top of his impending start to military service, he had a baby girl on the way. Thompson also lost his mother in 2020.

Example of violence happens fast…

I dunno about that. There was a prior confrontation and the perp was standing there already holding his pistol at his side when the victim decided to square up and escalate.

I am aware specifically the deceased striking the shooters five-year-old daughter while attempting to assault the shooter on behalf of some beef between the shooter and the deceased brother.

Which is a form of posturing. The shooter went from posturing to fight/violence very quickly.

People think in terms of fight or flight but in my experience the real model is fight, flight, posture, submit.

In some places confrontations like this occur regularly and never escalate beyond the posture stage.

While illegal, on a moral basis, I’ve seen a lot of people shot over a lot less than hitting someone else’s 5 year old daughter.

Texas hasn’t changed that much….

All I have to say is that $200.000.00 is not nearly enough.

Nobody hurt, but not far from me. Sheesh.
