Denard Dixon, a 30-year-old man from Houston, was found dead on the side of the road in the Westwood area of southwest Houston on January 24, 2017. The medical examiner ruled his death due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Police say the investigation produced probable cause to arrest 30-year-old Joshua Simmons, who was charged with murder on February 8, 2017. Reports say Dixon and Simmons had been arguing for weeks over a drug debt allegedly owed by Simmons’ mother; a friend of Dixon’s reported that Simmons took pictures of Dixon’s body at the scene before police arrived. Simmons was described as a California resident who faced an outstanding Los Angeles carjacking warrant and who had a prior robbery guilty plea in 2013 that led to a 12-month commitment at Rusk State Hospital and later state-jail time beginning January 5, 2016.

Neighbors and family members reportedly corroborated that Dixon and Simmons had ongoing disputes. Does anyone have information about the dispute or about Dixon’s last known movements that could help clarify what happened?
