Violence worries Baytown mother as neighbors call for private security at Bay City housing complex

For little more than a year, Jennah LeVasseur has lived in a unit of the Baytown Family Neighborhood on Bay City’s East Side with her 3-year-old son, Brenden Noonan. Though she initially thought its bad reputation was exaggerated, a May 23 shooting incident has left her with a different opinion. “I don’t like Baytown,” she said. “It’s kind of scary. I’m really kind of worried about how this summer is going to turn out.” LeVasseur, 21, said she grew concerned following the May 23 fight and shooting that happened in the 1100 block of North Jackson Street, inside Baytown. Police have said Roger L-Derring Davis Jr. hit Dequentin Nowell in the face with a shotgun, which later fired as the two continued fighting. Davis and his girlfriend, Baytown resident Kimberly A. Campbell, fled the scene but surrendered to police a week later.
