Cory Justin Crawford, a 33-year-old male from Houston, Texas, tragically lost his life on October 30, 2020. Crawford was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in front of an apartment complex entrance in the 10200 block of Old Bammel North Houston Road. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Harris County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into the incident and identified a person of interest seen in surveillance video talking to Crawford just
before the shooting.
The HCSO released a photo of the person of interest and the vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting. The vehicle was described as a white or pearl-colored sedan, possibly a Buick Regal. Authorities urged anyone with information to come forward and offered a reward for information leading to the identification, charging, and/or arrest of the suspects.

Crawford's death has deeply affected his family, friends, and community. He is remembered as a loving father, partner, and friend who left behind a young son and a network of loved ones. The HCSO has asked for the public's help in identifying the person of interest and the vehicle involved in the drive-by shooting.
