Stanly Babu Kumbanattel, 31, was shot multiple times by two men at a southwest Houston apartment complex on March 6, 2014, and died shortly afterward. He was born and raised in Houston, worked at the Memorial Hermann laboratory and was studying engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. Family remembered him as devoted to those close to him.

Police say the shooting happened just before 8:30 p.m. at the Little Nell Apartments. Less than two hours later the same two suspects allegedly carried out an armed robbery at the House of Pies on Westheimer, taking cash and cellphones; no one was injured in that robbery. Two 19-year-olds, Donald Henry Nealey and Marquis Davis, were charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery in connection with the incidents. Davis was reported to have prior juvenile arrests for misdemeanor theft and marijuana possession; Nealey was linked to a separate Fort Bend County shooting.

Anyone who knew Stanly, was at the Little Nell Apartments that evening, or saw suspicious activity on Westheimer that night is asked to come forward with information.
