Cedric Jermaine Gordon Sr. was 34 when he was shot and killed on August 10, 2019, in northeast Houston. Cedric managed to drive away but lost control and ended up in a roadside ditch; while still in his car Rodriguez returned and shot him multiple times, killing him.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded and Rodriguez was later taken into custody. Prosecutors presented evidence of Rodriguez’s prior violent incidents during a five-day trial; the jury convicted him of murder and a Harris County judge imposed a life sentence. The District Attorney stressed the risks of gun and domestic violence and thanked the jury and trial team. Cedric’s family was left to grieve.

If anyone knew Cedric, his movements that day, or has information about the confrontation on Kowis Street, please share what you know.
