Huiel Taylor, a 59-year-old African American male, was found severely injured in Braeburn Glen Park, located at 9510 South Gessner in Houston, Texas. On May 7, 2013, between the early morning hours of 3:00 a.m. and 6:40 p.m., Taylor, who was homeless, was likely sleeping in a sleeping bag when he was violently assaulted by an unknown suspect or suspects. During the attack, he suffered blunt force trauma to the head, inflicted by an unidentified object.
Passersby discovered Taylor in the park later that evening and immediately contacted emergency services. He was transported to Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, where he underwent brain surgery in an attempt to save his life.
Despite medical intervention, Huiel Taylor succumbed to his injuries on May 15, 2013. His death was officially pronounced by doctors at the hospital. Authorities launched an investigation into the brutal attack, but as of the latest available information, no suspects or witnesses have been identified. The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division, along with Crime Stoppers of Houston, has continued to seek information from the public regarding the case. A reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for any tips leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible for Taylor’s murder.
The circumstances surrounding Huiel Taylor’s death remain a mystery, with investigators working to piece together the events that led to his fatal injuries. The lack of witnesses has made the case particularly challenging, leaving authorities reliant on forensic evidence and community assistance to uncover the truth. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers or the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division.
