Ernest Woods, 68, was found dead at his Houston residence on August 8, 2016. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division responded and treated the death as a potential homicide after discovering injuries consistent with a violent encounter; Woods was declared dead shortly after officers arrived.

Investigators faced minimal witness cooperation and few leads from the start, and the case grew cold. It is now handled by Houston’s Cold Case Squad, which has re-examined forensic evidence and re-interviewed witnesses while cooperating with other divisions and agencies including the FBI. Authorities have publicly appealed for information and continue to accept anonymous tips through the Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone have information about Ernest Woods or the events around August 8, 2016 that could help investigators?
