He was transported to the hospital in serious condition, and he passed away on March 23.
Family members say Archield was working in his brother’s store. According to investigators, the suspects came in, attempted to rob the employees, and the suspects shot Archield.
Archield’s family spoke at a press conference on Tuesday, along with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Crime Stoppers. They are asking anyone with information to come forward.
"I never thought in a million years that I would have to bury my son over someone killing him over material things," his mother Angela Archield said.
She calls her son "my brother’s keeper" and "a protector."
"Everyone knew him, he'd never met a stranger. He was always kind to people and would give you the shirt off his back and the shoes off his feet," his mother said.
The sheriff’s office released photos of three suspects in the case.
Investigators are looking for these three suspects for the March 19, 2022 murder of Matthew Archield, a Houston-area fashion store owner.
"We're asking for the public's help because we know somebody out there knows something.
