Alvaro Caleja was 21 when he was killed by a stray bullet in his north Harris County apartment on December 10, 2022. Deputies responding to multiple reports of a shooting around 2:30 p.m. found Caleja unresponsive in his upstairs unit; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Two teenagers were also in the apartment but were not injured.

Investigators say multiple apartments were struck by gunfire and that Caleja likely was not the intended target. Deputies have been trying to locate where the shots originated and whether the shooting was aimed at someone or into the air. A 16-year-old has been charged with manslaughter in connection with the stray bullet that killed Caleja and the investigation remains ongoing. Caleja’s family remembers him as a devoted brother and son who loved basketball and time with family and friends.

Did anyone in the Houston area see or hear anything around that afternoon that could help investigators locate where the shots came from?
