Eric Starr, a 29-year-old white man, was shot and killed on June 29, 2019, following a road rage confrontation in Katy, Texas. The encounter began at Mason Road and Interstate 10 and continued northbound on Mason Road to Morton Ranch Road. Starr was driving a gray Toyota Camry; both drivers exited their vehicles and fought, and the other driver, 22-year-old Dietrich Thomas, allegedly produced a pistol and shot Starr in the chest. Starr was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Katy, where he was pronounced dead.

Dietrich Thomas was charged with Starr’s murder and was eventually taken into custody. At the time of the shooting Thomas was out on bond on an unrelated Houston shooting charge; he was described as armed and dangerous and was last seen driving a black Dodge Charger with Texas plate KYB8378. Starr’s widow, Anastasia Starr, and other passengers helped identify Thomas in a lineup. The family has publicly questioned why Thomas was out on bond given his prior charges.

Does anyone have information about the confrontation on Mason Road or about witnesses who saw the vehicles or the fight that evening?
