On June 13, 2016, George William Edmond, Jr., aged 36, was fatally shot during a home invasion in Houston, Texas. The incident took place in the 8200 block of Willow around 9:45 a.m. Edmond's wife answered a knock at the door and was confronted by two males armed with pistols who forced their way inside, demanding money. One of the suspects went upstairs and confronted Edmond, leading to a physical altercation during which Edmond was shot.
The suspects fled the residence, and Edmond pursued them outside, where he was shot again. He collapsed on the porch of a nearby residence and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspects were described as two Black males, one with braided hair with beads and a dark complexion, while the other was clean-shaven with short hair and a medium brown complexion. Witnesses reported seeing them flee in a gray four-door sedan. The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division has continued investigating the case, urging anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers
