Jayla Brown Charged With Murder in Houston Screwdriver Attack That Killed Keylan Foreman

Investigators say surveillance video contradicts her claim that Foreman struck her first.

Overview

  • Court documents state the December 27 altercation in northeast Houston left Foreman unconscious and he died on January 19.
  • An autopsy found Foreman’s fatal injuries were caused by a screwdriver, linking the attack to his death weeks later.
  • Detectives say nearby surveillance video shows Brown knocking Foreman down and continuing to strike him while holding a long, thin object.
  • Brown told investigators she and Foreman had an on-and-off relationship and alleged he hit her, a claim detectives say the video does not support.
  • A judge set Brown’s bond at $150,000, and online jail records show she remains in custody at the Harris County Jail.
