Robert Doodie Andre Mouton was an 18-year-old from Houston who was fatally shot in the face during a road rage incident on October 23, 2020, while on his way to college. The shooting occurred on U.S. Highway 59 near Highway 288 and was unexpected and devastating for his family and friends.

Jorge Joya was charged with murder in connection with the killing. At trial the defense argued that Mouton was the aggressor and that Joya made a split-second decision to shoot; a jury agreed and found Joya not guilty in July 2023. The case drew attention because of the road rage circumstances and the contested accounts of what happened.

Mouton’s family continues to seek justice and closure. If anyone witnessed the incident on U.S. Highway 59 near Highway 288 on October 23, 2020, or has information that could help clarify what happened, please come forward.
