Robert Palmer was a 27-year-old man from Houston who was fatally shot on April 19, 2021, in a north Houston neighborhood. The shooting also killed another man, Patrick Rashad Price, and injured three others. Police say Palmer was in the driver’s seat of a vehicle when he was shot.

A 28-year-old man, Tracye Cash, was later charged with capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the incident. Cash was found at the scene suffering a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. At the time of the shooting he was out on bond for a separate crime and had pending charges for assault on a public servant tied to an earlier drug conviction.

Palmer is remembered by family as a loving son, a supportive brother who helped his sister during her battle with cancer, and a father to a 9-year-old son. The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses.

If anyone knew Robert Palmer, his routines, or witnessed the early-morning shooting, please share information with investigators.
