Christopher Courtemanche was 17 when he was shot and killed in Houston, Texas, on October 28, 2001. He was sitting in a friend’s car at a red light on Rankin Road at I-45 after attending a street racing event when an assailant fired into the vehicle. Courtemanche was struck twice in the head; other rounds hit the car. Witnesses described the shooter as wearing gold-rimmed glasses and driving a white SUV, but no suspect has been identified.

Houston police continue to seek information and have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for tips leading to an arrest. Family remember him as well-liked and creative, someone who drew, played guitar and worked at Barnes and Noble; his mother Lynne Arnette has been publicly urging anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone who attended the street racing event or was near Rankin Road that night see a white SUV or someone wearing gold-rimmed glasses?
