A Suspect Has Been Arrested
According to Harris County court records, per the Houston Chronicle, 28-year-old Kayla Wynita Rodgers has been charged with manslaughter in the fatal stabbing. The charge stems from an incident on July 11 at a residence in the 11900 block of Bat Sheva Lane.
Police said officers responded to the home after reports of a stabbing and found a bystander performing first aid on Jordan. She was transported to a nearby hospital by the Houston Fire Department, where she was later pronounced dead. Meanwhile, Rodgers was arrested at the scene without incident and booked into the Harris County Jail. Court records show her bond has been set at $100,000. An attorney for Rodgers was not listed in court records as of this writing.
Houston police have not released additional details about what led to the stabbing, and the investigation remains ongoing.
