Sergeant Bruno David Soboleski, 33, was shot during a narcotics investigation on April 7, 1991, and died of his wounds on April 12, 1991. He was allegedly fired on at close range with a 9mm pistol by Shelton D. Jones after Soboleski and grand juror Linda Ligon encountered Jones and another man, Gregory Pickrom, at a known drug-dealing location. Soboleski was hit twice in the chest and once in the abdomen; a third man, Christopher Dwight Coleman, also fired at him though it was unclear whether Coleman’s shots struck the officer.

Shelton Jones was convicted of murder and sentenced to death; the jury reached its decision in about two and a half hours. Gregory Pickrom was involved in the incident and was denied parole in 2000 and 2006. Sergeant Soboleski had served seven years with the Houston Police Department and was remembered as a husband and father; he was buried April 16, 1991, at Oak Hill Cemetery in Houston.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Soboleski or the three suspects around April 7, 1991, who could add details about that day?
