Eugene Duke, 65, was shot and killed on October 12, 2017, while walking home from a store on North Shepherd in Houston. He was found lying in the street at 802 Lehman with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Houston Police Department treats the fatal shooting as an attempted robbery after investigators say an unknown man approached Duke and tried to take his purchases; Duke refused and was shot.

The suspect is described as a black male about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 to 180 pounds, wearing a white muscle shirt. He fled in a small four-door white or gray vehicle that was missing the front left quarter panel; surveillance photos of the vehicle were released. No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained open as of the latest update.

If anyone saw the suspect, the damaged vehicle, or has other information about that evening, please contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
