Deonte Hicks, a 27-year-old Black man from Dallas, was shot and killed in Houston on May 10, 2020. He was standing outside his vehicle in the 1000 block of Centre Parkway at about 4:20 a.m. when two Black male suspects fled the scene on foot. Hicks was a father to a 4-year-old daughter and is described by family as kind and caring.

Family members say Hicks had been lured to Houston by someone he met online, and that he was robbed before being fatally shot. They believe catfishing was involved. No arrests have been announced, and Crime Stoppers in Houston is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. The family has publicly pushed for more attention to the case and continues to seek tips.

If anyone has information about Hicks, the people who knew him or his movements that night, will you share what you know with Houston authorities?
