Mark Anthony Horton, a 49-year-old man from Houston, Texas, was shot and killed on September 12, 2014, after intervening to help a woman who was being robbed in the 700 block of Frankie in east Harris County. Horton was remembered by family and neighbors as a Good Samaritan who frequently helped others; he is survived by his daughters Tiffany Horton and Jenny Guajardo and by grandchildren.

The suspect was identified as 22-year-old Dondre Williams, described as a short, stocky black male who wore a fisherman-style hat and drove a white Impala. Williams was arrested on October 13, 2014, charged with Horton’s murder, and held in the Harris County Jail with bond set at $50,000 pending trial.

The community mourned Horton’s death and authorities emphasized the risks faced by those who intervene in crimes. If anyone has information about Horton, the events on September 12, 2014, or the suspect’s movements that day, please come forward.
