Fredy Aguilera Bernal, 31, was found dead in the front yard of a residence in the 12500 block of Deergrove Street in Houston on October 17, 2021. Harris County deputies located him in the early hours with multiple gunshot wounds; authorities classified the incident as domestic violence.

Investigators say the shooting followed a confrontation with Oscar Gaytan Torres, 27, the ex-boyfriend of Bernal’s girlfriend. Torres allegedly shot Bernal multiple times in front of the woman’s home and then fled in a black Mercedes with paper license plates. At the time of the report, charges were being prepared by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Torres was also wanted on a separate terroristic threat case out of Harris County.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the vehicle, or Torres’ whereabouts is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
