Edward Hargrove, 53, was shot and killed on October 23, 2017, at a residence on Elm Tree Drive in southeast Houston after an altercation with another person. Witnesses said the confrontation escalated and Hargrove was struck multiple times by gunfire. He was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police were called to a shooting in-progress but the shooter had already fled by the time officers arrived. No description of the suspect has been released and no arrests have been announced. The location was near a halfway house, and investigators note the transient nature of nearby residents as a complicating factor in gathering leads. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division is asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Edward, witnessed the incident, or has information that could help, please contact HPD Homicide or Crime Stoppers.
