Jerrell Lewis, 27, was fatally shot on August 22, 2012, at an apartment complex at 400 Greens Road in Houston. Officers found him unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; a woman who was also at the scene suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital in stable condition. The shooting followed an altercation inside the apartment.

Jerrell Butler, described as a family member of the injured woman, was identified as a person of interest. Butler reportedly left the scene afterward with a female companion in a maroon or red vehicle. The Houston Police Department asked the public for help locating Butler, and no formal charges had been reported at the time of the investigation.

Many cases from Houston’s violent 2012 have been hard to solve because of limited witness cooperation and complex circumstances. If anyone has information about that night, Butler’s reported departure, or the vehicle involved, please come forward.
