EL PASO, Texas -- The January killing of 20-year-old man in a northeast El Paso neighborhood remains unsolved, prompting a plea from police and Crime Stoppers for new information from the public that might help close the case.

The Jan. 26 deadly shooting of Terrance Lamont Kinard Jr., also known as “T.K.” or “T. Kizer,” outside of a house party in the 8800 block of Mt. Whitney was the city's first homicide of 2019.

"Kinard was outside a few houses away from the actual house party, when witnesses heard multiple gunshots. Kinard was fatally shot and died at the scene from his injuries," said police Sgt. Javier Sambrano. "Detectives know that someone has information as to the people involved in this murder. "

Sambrano asked that anyone with information on this murder case call Crime Stoppers of El Paso immediately at 566-8477(TIPS), or go online at www.crimestoppersofelpaso.org. He noted that you can remain anonymous and, if your tip leads to an arrest, you could qualify for a cash reward.
