Carlos Iraheta, a 55-year-old Hispanic man, was shot multiple times while working as a store clerk at a Conoco convenience store in Houston on October 15, 2021. The shooting occurred around 8:40 a.m. at the 8300 block of Gulf Freeway and Bellfort Street near I-45 south when a man who had approached the counter as if to buy something pulled a pistol and opened fire.

Witnesses called 911 and one observed the shooter fleeing to a black vehicle across the street. Officers located the vehicle and pursued the suspect in a short car and foot chase; evidence recovered during the pursuit linked the suspect to the shooting. Iraheta was taken to a hospital and pronounced deceased on October 17, 2021. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Tyrick Nelson, was taken into custody and charged with capital murder in the 184th State District Court.

Did anyone who lived or worked near Gulf Freeway and Bellfort Street on October 15, 2021, see anything that could help clarify what happened?
