Investigators believe Coles was an unintended victim of a drive-by shooting outside a house party. He was a star player fatally shot last March.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Two weeks after two North Shore High School football players were allegedly involved in a road rage shooting, one of them was shot and killed at a pool party.
On July 6, just before 3 a.m., 17-year-old Chace Zion Wade Calicut was driving a black Cadillac Escalade through north Harris County. According to court documents, Calicut and his passenger, 17-year-old Isaiah Phillip, a teammate of his on the North Shore High School football team, chased and confronted two other teens they knew from school. Court documents say Calicut repeatedly swerved, braked and tried to force the Hyundai Sonata carrying the two other teens off the roadway.
Then, on July 19, Phillip was shot and killed at a crowded pool party in northeast Harris County, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The cases involving North Shore High School football players making headlines led KHOU 11 News back to the grandfather of Jarvon Coles. Coles was a star football player who was fatally shot in March 2024, just two months before graduating.

“With us, every day we wake up, we pray for a resolution to our case,” Jarvon’s grandfather, Braxton Coles, said. “But, so far, nothing.”
Braxton Coles hasn’t been shy about sharing memories of his grandson while urging anyone with information to come forward.
“Someone knows something,” he said.
Jarvon was fatally shot outside a house party in northeast Harris County by someone firing a weapon up to two or more blocks away.
“We suspect that our victim did not know our perpetrators, and it was just a random, blind type shooting,” Sgt. Sidney Miller, with HCSO Homicide, said.
Miller told us Thursday that the case remains active despite the lack of arrests or charges.
“We spoke to a lot of people, tracked down a lot of leads,” Miller said. “But, unfortunately, it’s been a tough one.”
The Coles family is convinced someone out there is withholding information.
Meanwhile, Braxton Coles shared a message for the gunman.
“Give yourself up, get a good night’s sleep, I know it’s bothering you because no one is that callous,” he said. “We just need you to come in, without being harmed, so we can put this thing to rest.”
Anyone with information on this case should call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
