A community activist and the family of a man shot to death by a pregnant woman who said he was breaking into cars at her northwest Houston apartment complex are questioning whether she fired the gun, suggesting she is perhaps covering for someone else.

Andre “Squeeky” Mayes, 19, was killed when he was shot one time in the face and neck outside the complex at 5959 Pinemont near Alabonson Road late Monday, police said. The woman who shot him, who is 8 months pregnant and 4 feet 11 inches tall, told homicide investigators she saw Mayes break into someone else's car, then try to burglarize her boyfriend's car before she opened fire. She has not been charged with any wrongdoing, but the investigation is continuing and the shooting will be reviewed by a grand jury.

Mayes' family and activist Quanell X are questioning how a woman who is 8 months pregnant and so short in stature could fire a 20-gauge shotgun and why the woman's boyfriend never came outside their apartment after the shooting. Quanell X said the woman denied shooting Mayes when a neighbor questioned her immediately after Mayes was killed.
