According to investigators, Khamaya Donelson's mother, Kristena Watters got off work in the wee hours of July 3. After picking up 5-year-old Khamaya and her 8-year-old son from daycare they went to get ice cream.
Despite it being so late at night, it wasn't uncommon for her to treat her children, especially since she had not been with them all day.

Officials say around 1 a.m., officers were called to the 13500 block of Northborough Dr. in the Greater Greenspoint area. They did not find any victims, but about 15 minutes later, the Houston Police Department was notified about two children who were shot and taken to an area hospital.
Witnesses told police that a silver, four-door sedan approached the intersection at Northborough Dr. and Rushcreek Dr., and someone in the backseat started shooting toward a food store.
