Fredric Kevin Griffin, a 32-year-old male of African American ethnicity from Texarkana, Texas, tragically died on January 28, 2016, at his home. He was born on November 20, 1983, and was well-known in his community. Fredric was a member of Nash Full Gospel and worked at CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System. His death was a result of multiple gunshot wounds, and he passed away at a nearby hospital where he was employed.
The investigation into Fredric Griffin's murder has been ongoing and
remains unsolved. According to reports, Fredric was shot in his Beverly community home, and his family suspects that the murder could have been a hate crime due to his sexuality. Fredric's sister, Tina, mentioned that he often faced harassment because he was openly gay. Despite extensive investigations, including interviewing over 50 people and collecting DNA samples, the police have not yet identified a clear suspect.
In a significant development, Traveyon Henderson, who was 17 years old at the time of the murder, was arrested in June 2023 for his involvement in Fredric Griffin's death. Henderson was charged with capital murder, and police believe that robbery was the motive behind the crime. Detectives also have a warrant for another suspect who is currently in prison on unrelated charges.
Fredric Griffin's family continues to seek closure and justice for his untimely death. They have expressed frustration over the lack of information from investigators and the slow progress of the case. The family hopes that the recent arrest will lead to further breakthroughs and eventually bring the perpetrators to justice.
The case remains a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in solving unsolved murders and the impact on the families left behind.
