Eric Mbognou Big, a 24-year-old man of Cameroonian ethnicity, was tragically found dead on September 18, 2019, in Bellaire, Texas. He was discovered with a gunshot wound to the chest next to his car on the southbound side of the 610 West Loop. Mbognou Big had been working as a ride-share driver earlier that morning and did not have a passenger at the time of his death.
His personal belongings, including his wallet, credit cards, phones, and Mercedes, were not stolen.
Mbognou Big had moved to the United States two years prior under asylum from Cameroon. He was known to be hard-working and sent money back to his family in Africa. His family, devastated by his loss, has been seeking justice and answers regarding his death. The Bellaire police have released very little information about the case, urging anyone with information to come forward.
As of now, there have been no arrests or suspects named in connection with Eric Mbognou Big's death. The investigation remains open, and his family continues to hope for justice. They have also set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to send his body back to Cameroon.
The lack of information and progress in the case has left Mbognou Big's family heartbroken and desperate for answers. They have expressed their grief and frustration, with his brother stating, "I want to know why? Why would that person do that?" The family's plea for justice continues as they await any developments in the investigation.
