Francisco Lopez was 16 when he was shot to death in Galena Park, Texas, on September 20, 2021. The shooting happened in the early morning, about 1:30 a.m., in the front yard of a home on Leggett Drive. Surveillance footage shows a car stop nearby and two people talking to someone inside the vehicle; the car then drove off and the two walked away. Around two and a half minutes later at least ten gunshots were heard and Francisco was found dead.

Francisco was a student at Galena Park High School who had recently started a job and was looking forward to his first paycheck. His family described him as sweet, kind and respectful. Investigators noted possible blood spatter a block away and believe there may be a second victim who has not been located. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is investigating but no arrests have been announced and the footage has not definitively identified those involved.

If anyone saw activity on Leggett Drive that night or recognizes the car or the people in the footage, please come forward with information to help Francisco’s family and investigators.
