Ephran Boyd, a 26-year-old male of African American ethnicity from Houston, Texas, tragically lost his life on June 6, 2016. Boyd was fatally shot at around 7:40 p.m. at a residence located at 2510 Trout. He was spending time with friends at the address when the incident occurred. The suspects, described as two black males, arrived at the location later that evening.
One of the suspects asked for Boyd by name, and as Boyd walked out to see what the suspect wanted, another suspect was going through Boyd's vehicle. When Boyd confronted the suspect, the other suspect shot him. Both suspects then fled the scene in a maroon, four-door vehicle.
Boyd was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead on June 19, 2016. The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division took over the investigation, and the suspects were described as one being 30 to 35 years old, wearing a black T-shirt, black pants, and a red ball cap, and the other wearing a hoodie. The investigation continued, but no arrests have been made in connection with Boyd's death.
The case remains open, and the Houston Police Department has urged anyone with information to come forward. The investigation has involved both the Homicide Division and the Robbery Division, with efforts to gather evidence and identify the suspects. The community has been asked to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers with any relevant information.
Boyd's death has left a significant impact on his family, friends, and the community, and the search for justice continues as authorities work to solve this tragic case.
