Clifton Goldy Joseph Zeno III, 47, was shot and killed on February 23, 2022, inside a McDonald’s on Tanglewilde Road in Houston. Known as Goldy, he was a father of seven and grandfather of five; family members described him as a peacemaker and a practical joker who brought laughter to those around him.

Police say the shooting followed an altercation with another man inside the restaurant. Surveillance from nearby businesses reportedly captured a male suspect and a woman running from the scene. Investigators later identified 18-year-old Alberto Riascos as the suspect; ballistics evidence linked him to the McDonald’s shooting. Riascos had an active warrant for an unrelated aggravated assault charge and was shot and killed by Houston police during an attempt to serve that warrant.

The family has expressed grief and frustration, including disappointment over how and when they were notified of Zeno’s death. If anyone knew Goldy or saw the events at the Tanglewilde Road McDonald’s that day, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
