Blake Aaron Potts, a 25-year-old male of Caucasian ethnicity, tragically lost his life on September 3, 2017, in Houston, Texas. Potts was born on July 10, 1992, in Galveston, Texas, and was a lifelong resident of Alvin, Texas. He was moving into a new apartment with his girlfriend, Elizabeth Foerster, when he was fatally shot in the parking lot of the apartment complex at 10101 Forum Park.
The investigation into Potts' death revealed that he was shot by an unknown assailant while talking
on the phone and waiting for a ride. Surveillance footage showed a man, described as African American, aged 20 to 29, and nicknamed "Slim," standing in front of Potts and pulling out a gun to shoot him. The police believe an argument may have occurred between Potts and the shooter, although Potts did not appear to be upset or nervous in the video.
Despite extensive investigations, no witnesses have come forward, and no arrests have been made in connection with Potts' murder. The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division and Crime Stoppers have continued to seek information from the public, offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
The case remains unsolved, and Potts' family and girlfriend have been vocal about their grief and determination to find justice for him. The tragic and sudden nature of Potts' death has left a lasting impact on those who knew him, and the search for answers continues.
