The apartment was also found ransacked, indicating a possible robbery gone wrong. The Houston Police Department continues to investigate the case, and Butler is currently awaiting trial for his role in the fatal shooting.
Henry Roberts was well-known in his community and had a passion for fishing, crabbing, and visiting casinos. He was loved dearly by his family and friends, and his death has left a significant impact on those who knew him.
