Eugene Duke, 65, was shot and killed on October 12, 2017, while walking home in north Houston. The shooting happened about 10:50 a.m. in the 800 block of Lehman Street after Duke left a store on North Shepherd. A small four-door white or gray vehicle, reportedly missing the front left quarter panel, was seen passing him shortly before an unknown man approached and attempted to rob him. Duke refused to surrender his belongings and was shot; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect is described as a Black male, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, roughly 140 to 180 pounds, wearing a white muscle shirt. Surveillance footage captured the vehicle passing Duke and police released video and photos of that vehicle to seek tips.
