Brandon Woodard, a 25-year-old resident of Houston, Texas, was fatally shot on May 31, 2016, in a crime that remains unsolved. The homicide occurred in an area of Houston that has historically seen frequent violent crime, contributing to the ongoing concerns about safety in the region.

Woodard’s case is part of a troubling trend of homicides in Houston that year, reflecting a citywide struggle with elevated violent crime rates. In 2016, Houston saw a significant number of homicides, with many cases going unsolved due to a lack of leads or witnesses.

Authorities continue to seek any information that might help solve this case. Crime Stoppers and the Houston Police Department have urged the community to come forward with any details, even anonymously, that could lead to identifying the responsible parties.
