Tristan Houston was a 20-year-old Prairie View A&M University student who was reported missing on March 29, 2017, and found dead two days later in a wooded area near Clear Creek Road in Hockley, Texas. His body had a gunshot wound to the back of the head described as execution-style. Investigators say the killing was tied to a $400 debt.

Authorities arrested 19-year-old fellow student Ayinde Williams and charged him with Houston’s murder. Prosecutors’ account includes witness statements and conflicting statements attributed to Williams — at one point allegedly boasting about drugging and killing Houston over the debt, later saying he was trying to impress a woman, and at another point saying he went to the woods with Houston and two other men. Williams has been accused of leading Houston to the rural area and shooting him, though family members say others were involved.

Houston’s mother, Alesia Dorsey, has said two men assisted detectives by locating the gun and the body and raised concern about a possible third suspect who may have retained Houston’s missing belongings. The investigation had not been limited to a single suspect. Did anyone in the Prairie View community or Hockley area have information about Houston’s movements in late March 2017?
