Robert Strong, 40, was found dead on July 20, 2015, in Tarkington, near Houston, Texas, after a violent shotgun incident at a converted shed on Pine Court where he was living. A neighbor reported hearing a gunshot around 1 a.m. but did not check until later that day, when the neighbor discovered Robert deceased and called authorities.

The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Rangers developed leads rapidly and identified two suspects, Craig Russell Bryant, 46, and Randal Scott Dowden, 53. Both men were arrested and charged with capital murder and confessed, allegedly saying the killing was motivated by threats Robert had made against a member of Dowden’s family. Investigators initially considered suicide because of the manner of death, but the absence of a firearm at the scene and signs of forced entry prompted further inquiry and led to the arrests about twelve hours after the 911 call.

Robert’s family remembered him for his kind spirit and numerous tributes followed his death. Does anyone have information about Robert’s time on Pine Court or the people involved in the incident?
