Fabian O'Neal Smith, a 22-year-old African American male from Houston, Texas, was tragically murdered on December 29, 2017. He was walking with three friends in the 3500 block of West Orem when an unidentified vehicle drove by and someone inside shot him. Despite the presence of his friends, none of them have cooperated with the police investigation, leaving many questions unanswered.
The circumstances surrounding Fabian's death have been particularly difficult for his family.
His father, John Marsden, has been actively seeking justice for his son, but the case remains unsolved. Investigators have not named any suspects, identified a motive, or provided a vehicle description. The lack of cooperation from Fabian's friends has hindered the progress of the investigation.
Fabian's family has been vocal about their grief and determination to find justice. They have set up a Facebook page called "Houston's Unsolved Homicides" to raise awareness and garner support for their cause. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for any information leading to an arrest. Despite their efforts, the case has not yet been resolved, and the family continues to seek answers and justice for Fabian.
The loss of Fabian has left a significant void in the lives of his loved ones. He was a bright young man with aspirations of attending Harris County Community College and later transferring to Texas Southern University. He also leaves behind a 6-year-old daughter, adding to the tragedy of his untimely death.
The investigation into Fabian O'Neal Smith's murder remains open, and his family continues to hope for justice. They urge anyone with information to come forward and help bring closure to this heartbreaking case.
