Chaz Ray Bass, a 33-year-old man from Houston, was fatally shot on April 5, 2021. He was returning to his vehicle after disposing of a box in a dumpster at an apartment complex at 1415 West Gulf Bank Road when he was attacked. Houston police found him deceased in the parking lot; a preliminary investigation reported multiple gunshot wounds.

Born August 4, 1987, in McLennan County, Texas, Bass was described as playful and loving, with a passion for working on cars. He was a son, brother, and father to five children; his family and community remember him for his kind-hearted nature.

An arrest was made in the investigation: 31-year-old John Johnson was taken into custody on May 18, 2022, and later charged with murder in the 177th State District Court.
