Grady Fairbairn, a 72-year-old retired Army lieutenant colonel, was killed in Fort Worth on April 30, 2010, near the Rainbow Lounge. He was found around 10 p.m. on a side street after having been beaten and robbed, and later died of blunt force trauma to the head. A passerby offered help and Fairbairn initially intended to drive himself to the hospital; police later found him deceased in his car parked on Cannon Street.

Investigators have struggled to identify a suspect. Early reports described a black male, while later police appeals mentioned a possible white male connected to similar robberies in the area; it remains unclear whether those incidents are linked to Fairbairn’s death. The homicide occurred amid a string of robberies and assaults near the Rainbow Lounge, and police, together with Fairness Fort Worth, have asked the public—especially other victims of nearby robberies—to come forward with information.

If anyone knew Fairbairn, saw activity near the Rainbow Lounge that night, or was victimized in a related robbery, can you share what you remember with investigators?
