Chester Edwards, a 33-year-old African American man, was shot to death on January 6, 2015, in the 4100 block of Panay Drive in southeast Houston. The shooting happened just after 6 a.m. when a gunman wearing a hoodie and a mask confronted Edwards at his front door. Edwards was shot and fell in the doorway while his girlfriend escaped with their three children, who were unharmed. Witnesses said the gunmen continued firing as the family fled.

Investigators say two gunmen took part in the attack and arrived in a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Detective Fil Waters described the case as active and said further witness interviews were needed to determine whether the violence was random or targeted. Chester’s brother Sean Edwards spoke publicly about his grief and anger after the killing. No arrests or suspects had been identified.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who saw a Ford F-150 in the area that morning is asked to come forward.
