Zeferino Baeza Jr., 30, was shot and killed on April 2, 2021, while driving on the Gulf Freeway in Houston. Family members say he was struck in the back of the head, yet managed to keep driving off the freeway before crashing into a dealership. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported seeing a white sedan driving recklessly just before the crash, and the shooter fled. The Houston Police Department opened an investigation and the motive remains unclear. Family members have been outspoken in calling for information and justice.

On June 23, 2022, 31-year-old Alexander Ray Gonzales was arrested and charged with murder in the 177th State District Court in connection with Baeza’s death. Gonzales was identified through witness statements and further investigation.
