Joshua Wingo was 21 and from Houston when he was shot and killed on November 27, 2017. He left behind two young sons, including one who had not yet been born, and his family remembered him as a kind, loving person with a positive attitude and an infectious smile. The community provided support to his grieving family, including contributions toward funeral expenses.

Public details about the circumstances of the shooting are scarce. Joshua’s death was one of many violent incidents in Houston that families and community organizations say have strained local law enforcement resources and left cases unsolved. Crime Stoppers and local groups have urged public involvement to provide information that might help solve such cases.

If anyone knew Joshua, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help bring answers to his family, please come forward to authorities or Crime Stoppers.
