Willie James Woods Jr., 30, was fatally shot on May 5, 2021, in the parking lot at 925 Greens Road in Houston. He was seated in his vehicle around 9:30 p.m. when an unknown person wearing a black hoodie opened fire, striking him multiple times. Despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooter fled in a light-colored sedan. The attack happened as a Family Dollar worker — Woods Jr.’s nephew — was leaving the store; the worker managed to dodge the shots but Woods Jr. was struck in the crossfire. The motive remains unclear. Houston Police Homicide and Crime Stoppers are investigating and offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the suspect’s charging and/or arrest.

The family has been publicly asking for help identifying the shooter. Does anyone who was near 925 Greens Road that night or who recognizes the suspect description have information to share with Houston Police?
