Daniel Gonzalez, 37, of Houston, Texas, was killed on November 29, 2019, during a Thanksgiving family gathering in Cloverleaf. Gonzalez was shot multiple times, later found lying in a ditch, and pronounced dead at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital.

Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office recovered a weapon at the scene and several shell casings in the street. Cervantes was charged with murder and booked into the Harris County Jail without bond. The shooting occurred in the early hours with several people, including young children, present in the home.

Gonzalez is remembered in the report as a beloved family member and friend; the case drew attention because it happened during a holiday family celebration. Does anyone who attended that gathering or who knew Daniel have information that could shed light on what led to the confrontation?
