David Makes Man’s Akili McDowell Charged With Murder in Houston Shooting


‘David Makes Man’ star Akili McDowell has been charged with murder in a Houston, Texas, shooting that occurred in an apartment complex parking lot last month

McDowell, 21, was arrested and booked on Thursday, August 1, into the Harris County Jail on a $400,000 bond with charges of murder and theft, per TVLine. In a statement to Law&Crime, McDowell’s manager Jonell Whitt said on Monday, “[T]his is an unfortunate situation and I am in prayer for Akili and those impacted by this tragedy. “That’s why it was so important to me that I get this audition because, honestly, with David being raised by a single mother and him feeling like he had to be the man of the house at such an early age and make all these grown folks’ decisions and things like that, I’ve also felt like that in my life,” McDowell told Vulture in 2019.
