Richard Wayne Elliott Dowell, an 18-year-old African American, was shot and killed after an altercation outside an Arlington, Texas apartment complex on July 10, 2007. The confrontation among a group of youths began about 10 p.m.; shots were fired and Dowell was taken to Harris Methodist Hospital, where he died early the next morning.

Authorities described the incident as gang-related and said several individuals were involved in the altercation, but no specific shooter was immediately identified and no arrests were made. The case remains unsolved.

Family members, including his parents Victor and Barbara Dowell and his siblings, remember him for his kindness and willingness to help others and have kept his memory alive through memorials and tributes. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved who could help bring justice for Richard?
