Juan Ortega-De Leon, a Hispanic man, was fatally shot in the head during a robbery attempt on August 26, 2020, in the 1100 block of Burke Road in Pasadena, Texas. Two young Hispanic males approached him in the early morning and demanded his wallet; when he refused, a physical altercation occurred and one of the men produced a gun and shot Ortega-De Leon.

The Pasadena Police Department’s Violent Crimes Division is handling the investigation under Pasadena P.D. Case #20-012290. Crime Stoppers and the department offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to identification, charging, and/or arrest of the suspects. No arrests have been announced and no further identifying details about the two suspects have been released.

The family has appealed to the community for help. Does anyone have information about that stretch of Burke Road or recall witnessing two young Hispanic men there around that date and time?
