Carroll Oliver, a 68-year-old African American businessman and community leader, was shot and killed on January 11, 2016, outside one of the McDonald’s restaurants he owned in Houston, Texas. He had just deposited money at a bank and was walking to his vehicle when at least two gunmen in a white SUV approached. Oliver, who was armed, tried to defend himself but was fatally shot.

Investigators say the slaying may have involved an inside job, possibly by a current or former employee who knew Oliver’s routine. Witnesses described one suspect as a black male about six feet tall and 200 pounds, wearing black pants and a black jacket with white writing or striping. Despite an active investigation and a reward that has been increased to $35,000, no arrests have been announced.

The community held a candlelight vigil and later renamed a street in Oliver’s honor. His family and supporters continue to seek justice for his killing. If anyone has information about that January 11, 2016 shooting or the suspects involved, please come forward.
