Maria Claudia Fuentes, 19, was shot to death on August 31, 2019, in the Pine Trails subdivision in east Houston. She sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was struck nine times by rounds from a drum-loaded AK-47; investigators recovered 22 shell casings at the scene.

Prosecutors say Patrick B. Jackson, 30, a member of the Vice Lords street gang, took Fuentes to a quiet neighborhood under the pretense of releasing her to friends and then shot her. Evidence introduced at his trial included DNA, cellphone records, and surveillance video; Jackson was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Authorities say Fuentes had gone to Jackson’s apartment to recover an AR-15 that belonged to a former roommate. A man who had accompanied her fled and later told police he had seen Jackson with a firearm and the missing rifle. Oshey Demond Petters, 28, was also charged in the killing and is awaiting trial.

Does anyone have information about Maria’s movements in east Houston around August 31, 2019?
