Gabriel Espinoza was 38 when he was last seen leaving his workplace on the 7500 block of Sherman Street in Houston on April 23, 2001. His employer reported him missing after he failed to show up for work, and his sister filed the official missing persons report on May 9, 2001. Gabriel is described as 5 feet 4 inches, about 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, scars on his chest and forehead, and multiple tattoos including a Lady of Guadalupe on his forearm and a rose on his left hand.

There were no known leads after he left work that evening, and the case remains unsolved. The case is classified as an endangered missing person and investigators continue to seek information. If anyone saw Gabriel around Sherman Street on April 23, 2001, or has information about his movements after he left work, please come forward.
