Andre Parrott was 18 when he was murdered in Houston, Texas, on August 31, 1991. A recent graduate of Eisenhower High School, he was preparing to move out and expecting a newborn child. The killing remains unsolved and no suspect has been publicly identified.

The murder had a profound, lasting effect on his family. His sister Fallon describes how each family member coped differently: his mother was overwhelmed by grief, his father focused on protecting the family, and Fallon turned inward and pursued perfectionism rather than openly grieving. Andre’s name became painful to say, and the family struggled for years to acknowledge their loss.

Anyone with information about Andre’s death is asked to contact the Houston Police Department’s Cold Case Unit. If anyone knew Andre or has information about the night of August 31, 1991, please come forward.
