Esly Jimenez Erzo was 16 when she and her 35-year-old mother, Leslie Reyes, were found shot to death on June 12, 2021, in an apartment on the 7500 block of Drouet Street in Houston. A family member who went to check on them after they missed a scheduled birthday party entered through an unlocked door and discovered both victims in a bedroom; first responders from the Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department pronounced them dead at the scene.

Houston police identified 51-year-old Manuel Birriel Carrasquillo, also known as Vicente Lopez Garcia, as the suspect and charged him with capital murder. Surveillance released by the HPD showed Carrasquillo visiting the complex; he was last seen driving a white 2012 Nissan Rogue with Texas plate PGS-5720. The motive had not been made clear and authorities asked the public for information on his whereabouts.

Does anyone who knew Esly or her family, or who was near the 7500 block of Drouet Street on June 12, have details that could help the investigation?
