HOUSTON, TX – The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help locating 17-year-old Jayden Jackson, who has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the fatal shooting of Adam Pineda in Humble earlier this year. Investigators believe Jackson may currently be in the Portland, Oregon area.
On Saturday, January 10, 2026, Pineda was shot and killed in the 8300 block of Vistadale Drive after arranging to meet Jackson and several other individuals to sell THC vapes.
During the investigation, HCSO Homicide detectives learned that Jackson and three other males approached the driver’s side of Pineda’s truck. At approximately the same time, a second suspect, 19-year-old Thomas Osborne, emerged from a nearby wooded area.
Moments later, Jackson and Osborne allegedly pulled out handguns and opened fire, striking Pineda twice. Pineda died from his injuries at the scene. Jackson, Osborne, and the other individuals fled following the shooting.
Both Jackson and Osborne have been charged in connection with Pineda’s death. Jackson remains at large.
Detectives believe Jackson may have traveled to Portland, Oregon, and are asking anyone who may have seen him or knows his whereabouts to come forward.
Anyone with information about Jackson’s whereabouts or the shooting is urged to contact the HCSO Homicide Unit at 713-274-9100 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477). Tips to Crime Stoppers can be submitted anonymously.
