On April 20, 2026, Leonard Alvin Green Jr., 35, was found in Harker Heights, Texas, with gunshot wounds after police responded to a shooting around 3:41 a.m. First responders attempted lifesaving measures but Green succumbed to his injuries. The death prompted a multi-agency investigation that crossed city lines.

Harker Heights and Temple police are conducting a joint probe because investigators believe the homicide is connected to an aggravated kidnapping that occurred in Temple the same night. Two people were reportedly taken from Temple to Harker Heights; both returned to Temple on their own, one with minor injuries and the other without injury. Around 6:48 a.m. that morning, officers also responded to a vehicle fire believed to be related to the incidents.

As of late April 2026, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests were announced. Does anyone have information about Green, the kidnapping victims, or activity in Harker Heights or Temple that night?
