Anthony Walton, a 36-year-old male of African American ethnicity, was found fatally shot at his residence in Houston, Texas, on March 21, 2015. His body was discovered by family members who had grown concerned after not hearing from him for several days. Upon entering his residence, they found Walton with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division launched an investigation into Walton's death.
Investigators questioned Walton's girlfriend, who lived with him, but no charges were filed at the time. The case remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests have been made in connection with Walton's murder. The lack of arrests and suspects has left Walton's family and the community seeking answers and justice. The case is part of a broader context of increased gun violence in Houston during that period, with several homicides occurring within a short span of time.
The investigation into Anthony Walton's death continues to be a priority for the Houston Police Department, as they work to bring closure to his family and hold those responsible accountable.
