Earnest Matthews, 25, was found dead on October 8, 2019, in his apartment at the Crystal Springs Apartment Complex in Houston, Texas. His girlfriend discovered him unresponsive on the bedroom floor and called paramedics; he was pronounced dead at the scene with at least one gunshot wound. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences performed an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Matthews was a father of two boys, Carter and Kaison, and had launched a clothing line called Yung CEO. Investigators initially had a man in custody who fired shots at officers responding to the scene, but that individual was later determined not to be connected to Matthews’ death. The Houston Police Department has not yet identified any suspects and the case remains unsolved; the family has posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Matthews’ grandmother, Julia Batiste, has spoken about the family’s grief and frustration at the lack of progress. Who has information that could help bring justice for Earnest Matthews?
