Itali Marlowe, a 29-year-old Black transgender woman, was shot multiple times and killed on September 20, 2019, in Houston, Texas. She was found in the driveway of her home and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital after witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots around 2 p.m.

Raymond Donald Williams, Marlowe’s roommate at the time and 23 years old, was identified as the suspect and was seen fleeing the scene on foot before police arrived. The Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office charged Williams with murder, but he remained at large and authorities asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. Marlowe’s death was reported as the fourth known murder of a transgender woman in Texas that year, drawing attention from advocacy groups about violence against transgender people, particularly Black transgender women.

If anyone knew Itali Marlowe, Raymond Donald Williams, or has information about where Williams might be, please contact Crime Stoppers or local authorities.
