HOUSTON – Houston police say they need the public's help identifying the person who killed a man during a drug transaction in northwest Houston last May.

Police said Norrod was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he later died.
Investigators said a witness came forward and told officers he was a passenger in the truck and was doing a drug transaction with the victim. The witness said both men were in the truck when gunfire struck Norrod and the truck. Investigators said Norrod tried to drive off but hit two parked vehicles.
Authorities said a similar type of shooting incident had occurred at the same location several days earlier. A vehicle similar to the complainant's vehicle was involved and could be related to this case, investigators said.
Detectives said the case is still open pending new leads.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging or arrest of Norrod's killer.
