David Anthony Rios, also known as Dae-Dae Carter, was a 38-year-old man from Columbus, Texas who died on August 1, 2021. He was remembered as a devoted single father and an active member of Columbus First Church of Nazarene who enjoyed floating and fishing on the Colorado River, riding four-wheelers, and hosting friends and family.

Authorities say the fatal assault occurred on April 11, 2021, in South Houston, Texas. An 18-year-old fugitive identified as David Rios Hernandez was accused of pistol-whipping and killing David; he was described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 180 pounds, with brown eyes and short black hair. A reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

David is survived by his parents David Wayne Carter and Angelita Marie Rios, his children ZaDayah Carter and David Isiah Carter, stepson Dadrid Anthony Vasquez, and several siblings. Does anyone have information about the events in South Houston that could help the investigation?
