Michael T. Ford Jr., 27, was found with gunshot wounds in an East Houston neighborhood in the early morning hours of August 18, 2023, and later died at a nearby hospital. Police have said the shooting left him with multiple gunshot wounds and have described the death as a homicide; they indicated evidence at the scene suggested he had been targeted.

Detectives searched for witnesses and collected surveillance footage, but by late August 2023 no arrests had been announced. Investigators were exploring possible links to local criminal elements, including gang activity or personal disputes, and said they were pursuing multiple leads while keeping details about suspects confidential. Family members have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the community have surveillance footage or saw activity in that area the morning of August 18 that could help investigators?
