Angel Rodriguez, an 18-year-old Hispanic male, was killed on March 6, 2022, in the courtyard of an apartment complex in the 7700 block of Corporate Drive in Houston, Texas. Police found him suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses and surveillance show two Hispanic men approached Rodriguez and a struggle followed in which all three fell to the ground. Marco Zavala, 20, then stood and fired multiple shots, killing Rodriguez. The men fled, carjacked someone at gunpoint and left in a stolen vehicle that was recovered the next day.

Investigators identified the suspects as brothers Marco Zavala, 20, and Luiz Zavala, 19. Luiz was arrested on March 8, 2022, and charged with capital murder; Marco remained at large and was also charged. The attack appears to have been motivated by an attempted robbery, with witnesses saying the suspects tried to take something from Rodriguez’s arm before the shooting.

Did anyone in the area that night see the two men approach the courtyard or catch the stolen vehicle leaving the complex?
