Cedrick Alvin Collins was 23 when he was shot and killed in a residential area of Malakoff, Texas, on June 8, 2014. He was taken by ambulance to East Texas Medical Center and died shortly after arrival from a gunshot wound. Witnesses saw two black males running northwest from the scene, one described as light-skinned.

Law enforcement worked with Henderson County Crime Stoppers during the investigation. An arrest was later made in connection with Collins’ death; the arrested person’s identity was not disclosed and the shooting’s motive has not been reported.

Anyone who had information about Collins, the two men seen fleeing, or the events that evening is asked to come forward to help complete the picture of what happened.
