The reward has grown to $50,000 two years after three people were shot and their Cypress home was set on fire.
CYPRESS, TX — The FBI has increased its reward to as much as $50,000 for information that helps identify suspects in the unsolved killings of three people whose Cypress home was set on fire two years ago.
The renewed appeal comes around the second anniversary of the Aug. 18, 2024, deaths of Kelly Masciarelli, 54, her son, Kolin Foster, 23, and Foster’s girlfriend, Cameryn Richard, 21. Investigators have said the three were shot while they were asleep inside a home on Plains River Drive before the residence was deliberately set on fire. No arrests have been announced in the case.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office and FBI Houston have been investigating the killings and arson since the morning of the fire. Authorities have released surveillance footage showing an unidentified man approaching the residence at about 6 a.m. Investigators believe the man entered the home, killed the three victims and set the fire in an effort to conceal the crime.
Earlier in the investigation, the FBI offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible. The increase to $50,000 reflects the latest attempt by investigators to generate new information in a case that has remained unsolved despite previously released surveillance video and repeated public appeals.
Investigators have also released images of a vehicle believed to be connected to the case. The FBI previously described it as a dark blue or black four-door sedan with a third brake light positioned low in the rear window. Authorities said surveillance video showed the vehicle traveling east on Cypresswood Drive at about 6:15 a.m. before turning south onto Cypress Rosehill Road toward U.S. 290.
More recent reporting on the investigation says the suspected gunman fled the area on foot and was later picked up by an unknown driver several blocks from the home. Authorities have continued seeking information that could identify the man, the vehicle or anyone else who may have been involved. Investigators have not publicly announced a confirmed motive for the killings.
The sheriff’s office and FBI previously described the attack as planned and deliberate. The fire damaged the crime scene, but investigators recovered evidence and obtained neighborhood surveillance footage that helped establish a timeline. Officials have not publicly identified a suspect or said whether they believe the victims knew the person responsible.
The victims’ relatives have repeatedly appealed for information as the investigation has continued. Richard’s mother, Tina King, previously expressed concern that whoever committed the killings remained free and could hurt another family. Authorities have continued to ask anyone with knowledge of the case, including information that may have seemed unimportant at the time, to contact investigators.
The case remains open with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and FBI Houston. The FBI’s reward is now up to $50,000 for qualifying information in the investigation, while authorities continue reviewing leads and seeking the identities of anyone involved in the killings and arson.
