Blake Aaron Potts was 25 when he was shot and killed in the parking lot of the apartment complex at 10101 Forum Park Drive in Houston on the evening of September 3, 2017. The shooting occurred around 9:15 p.m.; police found Potts deceased at the scene after responding to reports. Authorities said there were no known witnesses and no suspects identified in the immediate aftermath.

Potts and his girlfriend, Elizabeth Foerster, had moved into the complex just two days earlier. Foerster said Blake was outside in the parking lot reportedly waiting for a ride and talking on the phone when he was shot. Houston was still recovering from Hurricane Harvey at the time, a detail Foerster described as part of the wider shock surrounding the killing.

Crime Stoppers offered a reward and police asked the public for help as the investigation remained open. If anyone has information that could lead to an arrest or help bring closure to Potts’ family, please come forward.
