Mary Jane Gonzales, 49, of Houston was shot and killed on October 17, 2021, while withdrawing cash from a Chase Bank ATM in the Gulfgate area. The shooting occurred about 12:45 a.m.; she was found with a gunshot wound to the head. An off-duty Houston Police Department officer pursued a suspect on foot, but the man escaped in a light-colored sedan.

Police describe the suspect as a male wearing a dark hoodie with blue lettering; surveillance images were released. Investigators believe the motive was an attempted robbery and say the suspect fled with about $40. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

Mary Jane’s husband, Hector Gonzales, has urged the community to come forward and has filed a lawsuit against Chase Bank and the property owner alleging negligence over safety at the ATM. Her family remembers her as kind and compassionate.

If anyone has information about Mary Jane’s killing or recognizes the suspect in released images, please share what you know with Houston police.
