Nolberto Lopez, a 42-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on September 6, 2021, in the 6600 block of Winfield Road in Houston. Patrol officers responding to a shooting call found Lopez deceased in the back seat of a pickup truck. Witnesses in that truck told officers they had left a gas station and were followed by a white, four-door Toyota whose front seat passenger fired several shots at Lopez before fleeing the scene.

The Houston Police Department Homicide Division opened an investigation. Authorities identified 18-year-old Luis Alberto Rodriguez as the suspect and arrested him; he was charged with murder on September 30, 2021, in the 262nd State District Court. At the time of the shooting Rodriguez was free on bond for two misdemeanor charges, and that bond was later revoked. Rodriguez was fatally shot by law enforcement officers during an arrest attempt on October 1, 2021, after he was found with two handguns in his waistband.

Anyone who knew Nolberto Lopez, saw the pickup or the white Toyota, or has information about the shooting is asked to share what they know.
