Oscar Anibal Gomez, a 58-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on October 12, 2019, in Houston while defending his wife from purse snatchers in the parking lot of their apartment complex. The attack happened about 12:30 a.m. when three men approached the couple and demanded his wife’s purse. Gomez was shot by one of the suspects; his wife Claudia Pineda attempted CPR but he died.

Police described the suspects as three African-American men who fled in an unknown black sedan. Surveillance video and a composite sketch of one suspect were released as investigators sought leads. Authorities noted a similar robbery and assault nearby earlier that same night, and the complex’s poor lighting and security were criticized as possible contributing factors.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains open. Did anyone see the black sedan or the three men near that apartment complex that night?
