Axel Turcios was 14 and a freshman at Lamar High School when he was shot in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Ella Lee Lane in Houston on May 6, 2022. Two men approached him; one or both fired, and the assailants fled in a dark-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser. A good Samaritan transported Axel to a nearby trauma center, but he died the following day.

Investigators said the attackers robbed Axel of his shoes before shooting him. Two 17-year-old suspects, Ramiro Hernandez and Abdon Enriquez, were later arrested and charged with capital murder, with Hernandez taken into custody on July 7, 2022, and Enriquez arrested on September 22, 2022. Authorities offered a $25,000 reward and appealed to the public for information; city leaders held a press conference to urge assistance.

Axel’s family attended press events and asked for justice and peace while grieving. Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing a dark-colored PT Cruiser near Ella Lee Lane on May 6, 2022?
