Misty Holmes, 21, was shot to death on December 19, 2007, at the Ravencrest Apartments in the 10000 block of Forum West in Houston. Police responding about 4:05 p.m. found her with a fatal gunshot wound. Her three-year-old son was discovered alone and crying in a nearby closet; he was unharmed and later cared for by family members.

Family described Misty as caring and free-spirited, a pretty girl with a pretty-girl attitude who was friendly and kind-hearted. She was not living with the child’s father at the time and may have been staying with another man. Police interviewed several people connected to her but did not immediately have suspects and established no definitive leads.

The circumstances around the shooting remain unclear and the case is unsolved. If anyone knew Misty, her movements that day, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
