Patrick Petitt, 35, was fatally shot inside his Houston apartment at 1001 Pinemont on November 12, 2015, at about 1:30 a.m. An argument between Petitt and the visitor ended when the visitor produced a handgun and shot Petitt, who died at the scene.

Miller attempted to intervene and was also shot; he survived and was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital in stable condition. The shooter fled before police arrived and no arrests were made immediately. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division handled the investigation. Petitt’s death was one of many homicides cited in reporting about a sharp rise in Houston murders that year.

If anyone has information about who entered the apartment that night or witnessed the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
