The Texas Department of Public safety is looking for leads in the 1974 murder of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Edd Williams, who was shot to death on Jan. 12, 1974, during a robbery at the Victoria Apartments in Houston. The suspects in the case at the time were two black males in their early 20s, who would be in their early to mid-60s today, the DPS said.
