Nathaniel Foley, a 71-year-old male of unspecified ethnicity, was tragically shot and killed on June 19, 2014, in Houston, Texas. The incident occurred at around 4:20 p.m. in the 11700 Bissonnet area, where at least two armed male suspects entered apartment #709 and opened fire. Foley was pronounced dead at the scene, while two other males were injured and transported to area hospitals.
One of the injured victims was later released, while the other remained hospitalized.
The Houston Police Department conducted an investigation and identified Okechukwu Oziri Nwosu, a 20-year-old male, as the suspect in Foley's murder. Nwosu was arrested and charged with murder on September 2, 2014. The motive behind the shooting appears to be drug-related. Despite their efforts, HPD has yet to identify the second suspect, who remains at large. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information on the second suspect is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
The tragic death of Nathaniel Foley highlights the ongoing issue of drug-related violence in Houston and the challenges law enforcement faces in solving such cases. The community continues to seek justice for Foley and his family, hoping for the apprehension of the remaining suspect and closure for those affected by this senseless act of violence.
