Rene Cantu, 34, was shot and killed on the night of November 9, 2020, while out for a late-night jog in Houston’s Montrose area. His body was found early the next morning by a passerby; he suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the neck, back, chest and left hand. Cantu worked as a communications coordinator at the University of Houston and was remembered by family and colleagues as a gentle, shy, big-hearted person who loved jogging and walking the streets.

No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear. The Houston Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Houston are seeking tips and have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest. The family has set up a GoFundMe to assist with funeral expenses.

Did anyone who knew Rene or who was in the Montrose area that night see anything that could help investigators?
