Complete video of the entire funeral available online
I have uploaded the file of the video of the entire funeral service at West Houston Chinese Church: Reverend William Huang's Funeral Service
I am working on getting separate video files of individual songs, speeches, and eulogies, so that viewers don't have to search around on a 2 hour video clip for the part that they want to watch. I hope to have individual clips online soon.
Andrade on Billboard in Houston, America's Most Wanted
Crimestoppers has labeled Leon Andrade one of Houston's 5 Most Wanted: Cash for CrooksAlso, Andrade's face is posted on a billboard at Richmond and Hillcroft, which looks like this: I've also sent another submission to America's Most Wanted with a more personal emphasis with some updated information: Dear Americas Most Wanted: I am writing concerning the murder of my father, Reverend William Huang. My father was murdered in Houston, TX on March 12, 2006 by Leon Andrade from multiple machete blows to the head. My family and I are eager to see justice served to Andrade, and believe that America's Most Wanted can dramatically tip the outcome of this manhunt. On the evening of March 12, 2006, hours after celebrating my brother's tenth birthday, my father returned to his restaurant to close the doors. As he closed, one of his employees and her 14-year-old daughter were confronted by Leon Andrade, the employee's ex-husband and the girl's father. Andrade became violent with his ex-wife, and my father moved in to protect her from harm by attempting to reason with Andrade. Drunk and possibly under the influence of drugs, Andrade became furious, retrieved a machete, and began chasing my father. The surveillance video shows that my father had ample opportunity to escape, but chose to stay near so that Andrade would not use the weapon on the women. After a few minutes, Andrade caught my father and split his head wide open in three places and shattered his skull. Also, my father suffered deep lacerations in his forearm, and his thumb remained attached to his hand only by a flap of skin. Other witnesses came running, but Andrade sped away with an unidentified passenger in his vehicle. I believe that my father's actions saved the life of his employee, her unborn child, and her 14-year-old daughter. Leon Andrade has an extensive criminal history including a long history of violence towards his ex-wife and children, as well as alcohol and firearm violations. Houston Police Department has filed murder charges against him, and the FBI and U.S. Marshals are actively searching for him as well. In the three months since, Andrade has at least been to Georgia, North Carolina, and back to Houston. One of the greatest problems hampering this investigation is the lack of community awareness. People who see Leon Andrade do not go to the police because most are not aware of his status as a murder fugitive. On more than one occasion, reports of sightings have gotten to police weeks after their occurrence, because there is not widespread awareness. In addition, Andrade continues to intimidate his ex-wife's family on the phone. Andrade is not hiding, and I believe that a simple increase in awareness will result in the police receiving good tips immediately, and possibly save the lives of the witnesses he is trying to find and kill. http://www.revwilliamhuang.com has a detailed description of the case and the victim's life, as well as photographs of the victim and the fugitive. Also, the website has essays detailing the emotional impact of this murder, as my father was a well known man in his community, as well as communities he had touched around the world. Sincerely, Shane Huang
