Ricardo Guzman Jr., 24, of Edinburg, Texas, was a husband and father of three who was shot and killed outside his home in the early hours of October 25, 2022. Deputies were dispatched at about 2:32 a.m. to a residence in the 2700 block of Alberta Road after a witness reported hearing gunshots inside the house; the witness said Ricardo walked outside and collapsed in the driveway. Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 39-year-old Edinburg resident Alphie Howard Slough as a suspect; he left the area after the shooting and then contacted authorities two days later to surrender. Deputies took him into custody at a Stripes convenience store in San Juan and he was charged with murder.

Ricardo is survived by his wife, Desiree Monique Luna; their children Ricardo Guzman III, Raiden Xavier Guzman, and Amaya Rosalie Guzman; his parents Ricardo and Esmeralda Guzman; and four siblings. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew the Guzman family?
