Robert Edward Howard, 38, was killed in Houston, Texas, on October 25, 1980. They allegedly recruited three men—Stephen McCoy, James Emery Paster, and Gary LeBlanc—to carry out the plot.

The group reportedly lured Howard to the Legal Tender Club. After slashing one of his truck’s tires, they waited until he left the club. When Howard opened the hood to retrieve the jack, Paster is said to have approached from behind and shot him in the back of the head. The three men were later arrested and convicted for their roles in the killing; McCoy and Paster received death sentences and LeBlanc was given life.

Are there readers who remember the Legal Tender Club or have information about Howard’s life and connections in Houston at that time?
