On the night of October 16, 2024, at about 10:40 p.m. Killeen officers responded to a 911 call for a gunshot victim in the 800 block of West Avenue D. They found 37-year-old Anthony Glenn Powell with a gunshot wound; he was airlifted to Baylor Scott & White Hospital and pronounced deceased the next morning at 6:34 a.m. on October 17, 2024. An autopsy was ordered at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.

Detectives reviewed nearby surveillance and saw two people on bicycles near the scene around the time of the shooting: one on an electric bicycle with a headlight and taillight, the other on a pedal bicycle without lights. The cyclists are being treated as persons of interest who may have information. No arrests have been announced and the Robbery-Homicide Unit continues to investigate. Authorities say there is no ongoing threat to the community and are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 254-526-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online; tips that lead to an arrest could bring a reward of up to $1,000.

If anyone saw activity on West Avenue D that night or recognizes the cyclists, please share what was observed with investigators.
