Joe Edward Moses, a 70-year-old African American man, died from injuries sustained in a violent robbery at his Crosstimbers Drive Inn Store in the 700 block of Crosstimbers Street in Houston on March 8, 2008. He was severely beaten during the robbery attempt and later died at Ben Taub Hospital.

The Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers have investigated the case, and the reward for information leading to an arrest and charging of the suspect was increased to $6,000. The investigation has since been classified as a cold case and the Houston Police Department’s Cold Case Unit continues to seek tips; anonymous submissions are accepted.

Joe Moses was well-known and respected in his community, and his death left a significant impact on those who knew him. Does anyone have information about that robbery or recall suspicious activity near Crosstimbers Street in early March 2008?
