The Shooting of Suzanne Hummel

from Gone Cold - Texas True Crime · host TTC Productions

On the morning of November 13, 1992, Suzanne Marie Hummel, a 39-year-old mother of two, parked in the busy lot of Rice Epicurean Market at Kirby and West Alabama in Houston, a familiar spot she used to wait before work. While eating breakfast in her car, she was approached by a woman demanding her purse. Within seconds, a .22-caliber shot tore through Suzanne’s arm and chest, and the assailant fled, vanishing into morning traffic and leaving her fighting for her life.Suzanne managed to drive forward and crash into a nearby bus shelter, drawing the attention of witnesses. Before losing consciousness forever, she gave one vital clue. Houston Police were stunned. A broad-daylight murder in a high-traffic shopping hub bordering River Oaks should have come with witnesses and leads. Instead, detectives were left with a scattered purse, a single gunshot, and the possibility of a waiting getaway vehicle. Whether the killer acted alone remained uncertain.Today, Suzanne’s case remains open and unsolved. Police believe someone did see something that morning. They just haven’t spoken yet.If you have any information about the murder of Suzanne Marie Hummel, please contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division Cold Case unit at (713) 308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
