Mason Alexander Pope, 23, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on May 26, 2016, in the 9800 block of Bissonnet in Houston. Officers were sent to the scene around 4:20 a.m. after a shooting call; paramedics pronounced him dead there. At the time of the report there were no known witnesses or suspects and investigators asked the public for information through the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division and Crime Stoppers.

The shooting occurred in an area that had experienced other violent incidents, and the absence of immediate leads made the investigation difficult. Family and friends later memorialized Pope, and his death added to Houston’s homicide toll that year. If anyone has information that could help bring answers in this case, contact the Houston Police Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
