Carroll Oliver, 68, was shot and killed on January 12, 2016, during an attempted robbery outside the McDonald’s he owned on the 5300 block of East Freeway in East Houston. The shooting happened about 9:40 a.m. as Oliver was walking to his car to go to a nearby bank. At least two people in a white SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe, confronted him; witnesses said one suspect was about six feet tall and wore a black jacket with white stripes. The suspects fled immediately after the shooting and Oliver died at the scene.

Oliver had owned the McDonald’s franchise for nearly 37 years and was a well-known figure in the neighborhood. His death prompted a candlelight vigil and a public recognition by the city, with the mayor declaring February 16 Carroll Oliver Day. Crime Stoppers of Houston offered a $35,000 reward for information leading to arrests, but the assailants remain at large.

Does anyone have information about the white SUV or the individuals involved that could help the investigation?
