William Petty, a 58-year-old Texas commissioned security officer, was shot and killed on February 26, 2017, during a robbery at a Subway restaurant in Killeen. Petty was on duty when a masked suspect entered the restaurant; after Petty confronted the intruder he was shot and taken to Baylor Scott & White Hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival. Customers and employees were present but no one else was injured.

The suspect was described as a stocky Black male about 5 feet 6 inches tall, wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, black shorts, and red and white tennis shoes. The Killeen Police Department investigated and appealed for tips through Bell County Crime Stoppers, offering a reward for information that could lead to an arrest. Nearly three years later the case remained unsolved; police and Crime Stoppers reenacted the crime with local media to seek new leads. Petty’s mother, Barbara Naron, has spoken publicly about her grief and frustration over the lack of progress.

Did anyone in the Killeen area see a man matching that description around the Subway on February 26, 2017?
