Byron Thomas, 33, was shot and killed while seated in his car in a west Houston apartment-complex parking lot on July 16, 2020. A masked shooter approached from behind and opened fire; witnesses described the shooter as a Hispanic man who fled in a light-colored sedan. Thomas was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office sought surveillance video and tips; Crime Stoppers offered a cash reward for information leading to identification, charging, or arrest. Investigators have not determined whether Thomas knew the shooter or what motivated the attack, and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who saw the shooting, the light-colored sedan, or who might know why Thomas was targeted is asked to contact investigators with any information.
