The Houston Police Department is on the hunt for 36-year-old Donald James Edwards, a person of interest linked to the assault of a man earlier this year. On January 2, a violent altercation took place at 3917 Richmond Avenue, which has since led investigators to seek out Edwards for questioning. Citizens with knowledge pertinent to Edwards' whereabouts or details about the assault are urged to come forward and assist law enforcement in their ongoing investigation.

Those with information have been given several avenues to reach out, including a direct line to the HPD Major Assaults division at 713-308-8800, or by contacting Crime Stoppers of Houston through their dedicated channel, ensuring that those who wish to remain anonymous can still aid in the pursuit of justice; the police have made it clear that every piece of information could prove crucial in piecing together the events leading up to the brutal encounter that took place that January evening.

The Houston Police took to social media, releasing a post on May 14th with a snapshot of Edwards and a call to action for the community to help in any capacity they can. The assailant is still at large.
