Peggy Lynn Howard, 25, was shot and killed on October 26, 1998, in Houston while walking her 6‑year‑old daughter, Allyssa Wild, to school in the parking lot of their condominium complex on Tanglewilde Street. A young Hispanic male, described as about 12 to 15 years old with a slim build, wearing a purple and green sports jacket and a dark baseball cap, approached and shot Howard twice before fleeing in a black Chevrolet Cavalier driven by an accomplice. Allyssa witnessed the shooting and hid under her mother’s car while screaming for help.

Investigators produced a composite sketch but the case went cold and no arrests or convictions have been reported. Howard’s husband, Brian Howard, had earlier faced an attempted murder charge in Florida, but he was in prison at the time of Peggy’s death and has not been tied to this killing in the material provided. The family continues to seek answers and wants justice.

Did anyone in the Tanglewilde area see a black Chevrolet Cavalier or a teenager matching that description on October 26, 1998?
