Terrance Lamont Kinard Jr., 20, known professionally as T. Kizer Tha Dummy and also as T.K. or T Kizer, was shot and killed just after midnight on January 26, 2019. He had been at a house party in the 8800 block of Mount Whitney Drive in Northeast El Paso; multiple gunshots were heard while he was outside a few houses away from the party and he died at the scene. His death was El Paso’s first homicide of 2019.

The investigation remained unresolved for nearly five years while police and Crime Stoppers of El Paso sought public help. A grand jury returned indictments in late 2023, and between November 2023 and January 2024 authorities arrested 11 people on capital murder and organized criminal activity charges; the indictments alleged several defendants were members of a criminal street gang. Four of those arrested also faced an additional charge of directing the activities of a street gang. Subsequent filings dropped or dismissed charges against seven of the 11, leaving four defendants still facing charges and awaiting trial. Police described the investigation as ongoing; anyone with information is asked to contact El Paso police at 915-212-4040 or Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-8477.

Are there details about that night or about Kinard’s movements near the party that anyone in the area can add?
