The name of the victim hasn't been released, but for those unfamiliar with Houston, River Oaks is the really rich neighborhood inside the 610 loop in Houston.

If more guns is the answer to the gun problems in this country, what's the number of guns we need in circulation to make the gun violence start going down?? Like 500 million guns? 600 million? At point do we get roi?

Police say they don't know the identity of the victim, but the he is a rapper.

How can they know his occupation, but not his name?

Used to live there, when I was a kid, in a gated home within a gated community that had armed guards at the front.

If guns made us safer, why did they need all of that and why did they install panic buttons 2 feet off the floor on most walls of the house?

So glad I left Texas.

I believe Papa Bush lived (at least for the last part of his life) in Tanglewood, also very upscale, but over in the Galleria/Uptown area. All the boys in ZZ Top grew up in that neighborhood, though I don't think it was as upscale then as it is now.

Enron evil doer Jeff Skilling lived in River Oaks before it all went bust. I believe prosperity gospel preacher Joel Osteen lives in River Oaks.

Honestly, not sure it's a neighborhood I'd want to live in if I could afford it.

I used to live in that area! Hard to wrap my head around the word “shooting” there. It was so safe and quiet, so not Texas.

Assuming it’s BTB Savage. He recently killed someone that was trying to rob him. Then he had the wise idea to gloat about it and post pics of him posing standing next to the puddle of blood. The energy you put out you tend to get back in multiples.

The idea was that if there was an intruder or shooter you could stay low, crawl to the wall and hit one of the buttons without showing yourself through a window or be forced to go to the wall mounted alarm controller to hit the panic button.

I can’t remember if we also had remotes in addition to the buttons but I think not…

Problem we had with these buttons was furniture placement. Couches and beds might block access to some or even trigger the button if pressed too close to the wall. Some homes had pull strings instead of buttons, I always guessed that was the reason.

We moved there in the early 2000s, those security upgrades happened long before we moved in (I think at least a decade). We were told a wealthy older woman (which was like 80% of the neighborhood population demographic…) was assaulted years earlier which prompted the upgrades to all the homes in the community.
