Joseph Lee Fransaw, 26, was fatally shot on June 8, 2008, outside the Vault Club at 1000 Rusk Street in downtown Houston. According to reports, Fransaw was standing near the club about 1:50 a.m. when two men in a black four-door Pontiac Grand Am opened fire; he was struck in the upper abdomen and taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he underwent surgery but died on June 13, 2008.

The shooters fled immediately in the Pontiac and no arrests had been announced. Authorities described the shooting as one of several violent incidents occurring around entertainment venues in Houston at the time and said the investigation remained open. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.

Can anyone who was in downtown Houston near the Vault Club on the night of June 8, 2008, or who remembers seeing a black Pontiac Grand Am, provide information to investigators?
