Kevin Paddio, 42, was found fatally stabbed in his northeast Houston home on December 22, 2014. His brother discovered him in his bedroom on the 6100 block of Antha Street; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police reported multiple stab wounds and said a chef’s knife was used, describing the attack as brutal and possibly targeted.

Investigators found no signs of forced entry, which led them to conclude the killer may have been known to Paddio or familiar with the home’s layout. Surveillance footage captured a suspect described as a slim Black male who fled after the attack; that footage was released publicly. The Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers are seeking tips and have offered up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone who knew Kevin or who has information about the person seen in the footage is asked to come forward.
