HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A Houston family is asking for your help finding the person who killed a young mother. Leandrea Foster was shot after an argument outside a barbecue stand on West Little.

The person who shot the 29-year-old followed her from a barbecue stand after Foster and her family drove away, and then opened fire.

It happened in the early morning hours of September 18th.

Foster, along with her husband and 2-year-old daughter were ordering food at the stand outside a nightclub on 45 and West Little York.

Sheriff's deputies say while ordering they got into an argument with a black female and a man who might have been her brother. The suspects appeared to leave the parking lot, but after Foster and her family drove away, they noticed the same two people following them.

Foster and her family tried to drive away from the suspects, but became boxed in at a parking lot and the suspects then fired several shots at the Foster family.

Foster, who is a mother of 3, died from her injuries while the suspects drove away, and have not been seen since.

Dennis Bean, Foster's husband, said, "I just hope this young dude will be caught, I just hope. They took my wife away, not just wife but three kids, she will never see them again. I spent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with this woman. When I say I did everything that I thought I could do, that's what I did."

Deputies only know the suspects were driving a small silver colored SUV, it might be a Kia or Hyundai. If you recognize it from the surveillance pictures or if you know anything about the shooting, you are urged to call crime stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
