Ryan Jaden Jordan McGowan, a 19-year-old from Houston, Texas, was killed on September 6, 2019, when a vehicle carrying Christian Ivan Cavazos and others opened fire on another car. McGowan was sitting in the backseat and was struck; he died at the scene. Investigators determined Cavazos had mistaken McGowan’s vehicle for that of a rival gang member.

The shooting was one fatal episode in a series of 2019 attacks attributed to Cavazos that left five people dead. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI investigated the incidents. Cavazos was arrested and later pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, including the killing of McGowan, and received life without parole. Victims’ family members delivered emotional impact statements at sentencing.
