Carl Winston Gray Jr., 35, was found dead in his Midtown apartment in Houston on March 18, 2019. Neighbors had reported hearing an argument the night before. Detectives found blunt force trauma to his face and collected substantial evidence from the scene; surveillance footage was also reviewed. His death was ruled a homicide and Houston police opened an investigation.

Family and friends remembered Carl for his contagious laughter and jovial spirit. A graduate of Klein High School, he was described as a devoted son, father and brother and had a strong faith, having been baptized early in life. Authorities later arrested 43-year-old Andre Demond Williams and charged him with Carl’s murder; Williams was accused of fatally shooting Carl and charged in the 179th State District Court.

If anyone knew Carl, had contact with him in Midtown around March 17–18, 2019, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
