“My neighbors are dead. My family members are dead. My friends are dead.”
A new State study backs up what Kashmere Gardens residents have said for years. Their soil was contaminated by creosote (by a railroad yard) — resulting in high cancer rates/death.
This is a BIG DEAL. ⬆️ This is the first cancer cluster indentified within Houston city limits.
The study shows creosote seeped into the soil, creating a hazardous plume that moved beneath at least 110 homes and churches and had contaminated groundwater.

HPD is investigating reports that 13 y/o Zavion Parker was snatched on his way home from school in East Houston. He’s ok and back with his family — but was found with a torn shirt and no shoes. He says one of the suspects had a tattoo of a racial slur.
The 6 suspects (5 of which are roughly 17-18 years-old) are all described as having reddish hair. The adult driver had a heavy build with arm tats. He was driving a red truck with flames on the side. If you see anything, know anything — speak up.
