Christopher Albert Rizo Sr., 44, was shot and killed on the night of August 15, 2020, after an argument between two groups moved from one Houston-area bar to El Mercado Rodriguez on Fulton Street and escalated into gunfire. Officers who arrived at 2836 Fulton Street found Rizo on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police recovered two firearms and numerous spent casings, and investigators reported at least one other person wounded who was later airlifted to Memorial Hermann; tips also suggested a possible third victim who could not be confirmed at the time.

Authorities said the dispute began roughly 12 miles away and involved a confrontation with a motorcycle group identified in reports as the Bandidos, and that the conflict carried over between establishments before erupting outside the Fulton Street venue. Detectives released surveillance photos of three people they wanted to question and later said those individuals had been identified, but reporting available through the last public update did not link any named person to a murder charge or conviction in Rizo’s death. His obituary notes a funeral on August 29 and survivors including his wife, children, grandchildren, mother and siblings.

Does anyone who was near El Mercado Rodriguez that night or who knew Rizo have information about how the sequence of events unfolded or who fired the fatal shots?
