Randall Lee Ward, age 48, was found dead on March 1, 2009, in Houston, Texas. The Houston Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in a residential area. Upon arrival, officers found Ward with multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses mentioned hearing gunshots and observed individuals fleeing from the area shortly after the incident, but there were no immediate arrests.
The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division took over the investigation, but progress was hampered by limited witness cooperation and lack of strong leads. Authorities appealed to the public for any information that could assist in solving the case, with Crime Stoppers offering a reward for tips leading to an arrest. Despite these efforts, the case went cold, and Ward's homicide remains unsolved. The Cold Case Squad continues to seek information, hoping to bring justice for Randall Ward and his family.
