Cristino Resendiz Garcia, 23, was fatally shot on March 9, 2022, in Houston. He was found with gunshot wounds at an apartment complex in the 6300 block of West Bellfort Street around 1 p.m., taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead. Initial reports say the shooting followed a verbal altercation.

Police identified 26-year-old Alma Nely Rico as the suspect, accused of shooting Garcia and fleeing the scene in a dark blue or black BMW 325i with Texas plates CL7-M877. Rico was later located and arrested in connection with the case and charged with murder and tampering with evidence.

The case raises questions about what led to the verbal argument and who witnessed the events at the apartment complex. Anyone with information about the shooting, the vehicle, or the moments before the altercation is asked to come forward.
