Nathan Orozco, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on March 21, 2022, near the Greater Greenspoint area of Houston at 1016 W. Greens Rd. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators say the shooting occurred after Orozco and friends were approached by three people in a red truck. Investigators identified 19-year-old Christian Miranda as a suspect; Miranda was arrested and charged with capital murder, and robbery was described as the motive. One friend stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, providing information that helped lead to the arrest.

Family and friends describe Orozco as a happy person with a big smile and a contagious laugh; a GoFundMe was set up to assist with funeral expenses. Anyone who has information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
