Irma Gutierrez, 52, was found with severe head injuries at her home on Sycamore Road in Houston on March 20, 2008. She was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital and later died of blunt force trauma; police treated the death as a homicide after evidence of a brutal attack. Witnesses reported an altercation may have occurred shortly before she was discovered, prompting an immediate investigation by the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division.

Detectives pursued leads and interviewed potential witnesses, but no arrests or suspect identifications were announced and the case later grew cold. The file has been part of ongoing reviews by the homicide unit and Cold Case Squad as they examine any new evidence or witness information that might move the investigation forward.

Does anyone who knew Irma or lived on Sycamore Road at the time have information that could help investigators?
