Wilson Martinez was 19 when he was shot and killed inside a west Houston apartment on May 20, 2020. The shooting happened about 9:10 a.m. at the Brisa at Shadowlake apartments on Shadowbriar Drive near Westheimer. Martinez was Hispanic and was either visiting or living at the unit where the confrontation occurred.

Houston police say Martinez got into a verbal altercation with a male who then produced a gun and shot him multiple times before fleeing with a female companion in a small red SUV, described as possibly a Jeep. The next day police arrested 20-year-old Hilton Drexler Caicedo, a Black male, and charged him with murder in the 209th State District Court. The female who left with Caicedo was detained, questioned, and released without charges.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Houston Crime Stoppers. Did anyone in the area see the red SUV or have details about the altercation that morning?
