Latesia Thompson, 32, was killed in her Houston home on February 1, 2015. She was found with severe trauma, and her death occurred during a period when the city was experiencing a sharp rise in violent crime; homicides climbed about 46% in the early months of 2015 amid escalating gang activity, drug-related incidents, and neighborhood disputes.

Police increased patrols and community outreach that year and pursued leads in multiple cases, with arrests announced in some homicides, but Thompson’s case is described as part of the broader struggle with violence in Houston and remains notable for its severe injuries and the context of that violent period.

If anyone knew Latesia or has information about what happened at her home on February 1, 2015, please come forward.
