Emely Rachal Contreras, a 20-year-old Hispanic woman from Houston, Texas, was fatally shot at her home on the 10000 block of Revelstoke Drive on August 4, 2019. The shooting occurred during an altercation with her boyfriend, 22-year-old Gerson Pena, who said the shooting was accidental and took place during a struggle over a gun. Contreras’ family disputed that account, citing a history of abuse, and her father Robert publicly urged authorities to take action.

Emely was remembered by family and friends as smart, funny, and well liked, and as a devoted mother to three children, including a newborn. The investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Emely, her movements that day, or has information about the altercation on Revelstoke Drive, please come forward with tips.
