Bun B and Wife Open Up About Home Invasion and Shooting, Bun Calls His Wife the Real Hero: ‘So Proud’

Bun B has been called a hero for shooting a home intruder last week in Texas, but he said his wife Angela “Queenie” Walls deserves all the credit.

The couple stopped by “The Breakfast Club” on Wednesday and discussed the incident for the very first time. Walls spoke first, and through tears admitted she was still struggling mentally from the ordeal.

“At the moment it was unreal, because we had just made it home within 20 minutes,” she detailed.

Walls then explained that she saw the intruder, later identified as Demonte Jackson, through her kitchen window but thought he was a neighbor. Then when the doorbell rang, she figured it was a delivery person and opened the door.

At that point, the suspect bursts into the house, pointed a gun at Wall’s head and threatened to shoot if she didn’t listen. Walls said that he started looking at the bedroom, so she offered up her Audi.

“I didn’t want him to take me into that bedroom and rape me, do whatever he wanted to do,” she explained.

The gunman eventually heard footsteps, asked Walls who else was in the house and told her to call Bun’s name.

Later, the suspect got inside the Audi, and that’s when Walls ran from the garage where she saw her husband.

“I don’t know what’s on the other side,” Bun recalled. “Then I look in the car I see his head and his body turn back towards me and that’s when I just let that thing go.”

The UGK rapper also explained why his wife’s actions were so heroic that day.

“I’m not the one who had to confront him in the moment, she was,” he stated. “And I’m so proud of her, not only for the way she handled herself, her only thought was to protect me. Because in the moment, her assumption is that this person has come to get me.”

“She doesn’t know it’s a random act at the time, so she thinks this person is coming to kill me,” he added. “So she’s like I need to hold this person here until Bun can get to the gun. And even if he kills me, I know Bun can kill him.”

Jackson, who was hit in the arm, fled the couple’s home on foot and was later arrested when he sought medical treatment for his wound at a Houston hospital. He was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery with a weapon and one count of burglary. Bun and his wife were physically unharmed.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
