Terry Petry, 24, was shot and killed on October 21, 2022, in Missouri City, Texas. He was found with a gunshot wound to the chest at a home on the 800 block of Turtle Creek Drive and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Petry was a former Ridge Point High School football standout who earned first-team all-district honors and was named the district MVP. He played college football at the University of Missouri, Blinn College, and Texas Southern University before injuries ended his playing career.
