Lamount Lastie, 37, was shot to death in his Houston apartment on Meadowglen Lane on October 14, 2011. Neighbors reported loud banging followed by gunfire early that morning; a neighbor later found the apartment door ajar and Lastie’s body inside. He was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds after police and medical teams responded.

Witnesses said two unidentified men wearing hooded jackets ran from the direction of the apartment after the shots, but could only offer a minimal description. Lastie was a father of two; his mother, Myra Ford, described him as a beloved family man and an avid Houston Texans fan. Ford and the Houston Police have appealed to the public, and Crime Stoppers is seeking tips to help solve the killing.

If anyone knew Lastie, saw suspicious activity on Meadowglen Lane that morning, or has information about the two men, please come forward.
