Channing Butler, a 35-year-old man from Houston originally from Arkansas, was shot and killed and pronounced dead at the scene on December 19, 2014. The shooting happened at about 7:30 a.m. when Butler was found at 4900 Eastland in Northeast Houston. The Houston Police Department opened an investigation, but details about what led to the shooting were not made clear.

There were no immediate arrests or suspects identified, and the case remained unsolved for years. Butler’s family and friends expressed frustration as the investigation produced little progress and the department continued to ask anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone who knew Butler or who was in the Northeast Houston area that morning have information that could help the investigation?
