Fabian O’Neal Smith was 22 when he was shot and killed on December 29, 2017, while walking with three friends in the 3500 block of West Orem in Houston, Texas. An unidentified vehicle drove by and someone inside fired the fatal shots. Investigators have not named suspects, identified a motive, or provided a description of the vehicle.

None of the three friends who were with Fabian have cooperated with the police, a factor the family says has hampered the inquiry. His father, John Marsden, and other relatives have been publicly seeking answers; the family has helped raise awareness through a Facebook page called Houston’s Unsolved Homicides. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Fabian had plans to attend Harris County Community College and later transfer to Texas Southern University and is survived by a 6-year-old daughter. The homicide investigation remains open. Does anyone who knew Fabian or was in that area on December 29, 2017, have information to share?
