Bobbie Ann Fields-Wilson, a 37-year-old Black woman, was found beaten to death and dumped in a field near Keele Avenue in Lubbock, Texas, on August 8, 1993. She had last been seen in the early morning hours of August 7, 1993, near the Rose Hotel. A passerby discovered her body, and investigators determined blunt-force trauma as the cause of death.

The case produced few leads and stalled for decades despite work by the Lubbock Police Department. In 2019, investigators linked convicted felon Samuel Little to the homicide and he was indicted in Texas on August 28, 2019. Little died in custody on December 30, 2020, while serving a life sentence in California; authorities involved in the cold case later reported the matter resolved. Texas Crime Stoppers still offers a cash reward for anyone with additional information.

Anyone who knew Bobbie Ann Fields-Wilson, saw her in Lubbock in August 1993, or has information that hasn’t been shared with investigators is urged to come forward.
