Lawrence Fiedler, 62, was shot and killed on February 1, 2008, in Houston during what investigators say began as a robbery after a bank withdrawal. Fiedler owned a scrap-metal business and routinely carried cash for operations, a practice that investigators link to so-called jugging, in which suspects follow victims from banks. Two men are described as having watched him leave the bank; one approached pretending to be a customer with a shopping cart full of aluminum cans and tried to grab Fiedler’s money bag.

A struggle followed and Fiedler was fatally shot, after which the gunman fled in a dark-colored pickup truck, possibly a Ford or Dodge. Fiedler was well known locally for helping people in need, hiring some with criminal records, speaking at shelters, and paying more for scrap when sellers were struggling.

If anyone knew Fiedler’s routines that day or saw a dark pickup truck near his business, please share what you know.
