Luis Ruiz, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on March 10, 2021, during a quadruple shooting on Ranchester Drive in southwest Houston. He and his 20-year-old sister, Jessica Ruiz, were among a group that got into a confrontation with two men in a gold or brown sedan. The men left and then returned, opening fire and killing Luis, Jessica, and 55-year-old Josafat Ocampo Mesa. An 18-year-old woman was shot and survived; a fifth person at the scene was uninjured.

The shooting was described by the Houston Police Department as completely senseless and was reported to have followed a brief argument in a parking lot. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office charged 22-year-old Roger Salazar with capital murder, alleging he intentionally and knowingly caused the deaths of Luis and Jessica Ruiz with a firearm. Family members set up a GoFundMe for funeral expenses and emphasized the siblings’ close bond.

Anyone who knew Luis or has information about the March 10, 2021 shooting is asked to share tips with investigators.
