Byron Thomas, a 33-year-old man from Houston, Texas, was tragically killed on July 16, 2020. He was sitting in his car in the parking lot of a west Houston apartment complex when a masked shooter approached him from behind and opened fire. The shooter, described as a Hispanic man, fled the scene in a light-colored sedan. Thomas was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The Harris County sheriff's office launched an investigation into the incident, seeking surveillance footage and tips from the public. Crime Stoppers offered a cash reward for information leading to the identification, charging, or arrest of the suspect. Despite these efforts, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved.
