Two teenagers were killed and several others injured in a shooting at a pop-up party in Houston, prompting calls for increased regulation of such events.
Pop-up parties, particularly those involving children, have become a public safety concern. Just this weekend, six kids in Houston were shot at such an event.It's Houston City Councilman Mario Castillo's district where the party was held at an empty warehouse on Saturday. The deadly shots rang out, killing 14-year-old A'zirya Bankhead and 16-year-old King Randle.
We found the Certificate of Occupancy was not in place for this building. We also learned currently the fire marshal's office enforces that. Can we also get HPD the authority to enforce Certificate of Occupancy violations? That's one thing we're looking at, at the moment. In addition to increasing the fine for those violations, to make it an actual deterrent to running something like this in an unregulated way," said Castillo.
