On March 20, 2019, 19-year-old Luis Gutierrez was fatally shot in east Houston at about 4:40 p.m. Officers found the Hispanic male lying in the street in the 5500 block of Arapahoe, near San Juan and Sakowitz streets, with multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported Gutierrez had been engaged in a shootout with occupants of a dark-colored SUV, possibly black; a resident described seeing him firing back before the vehicle sped away. Loved ones at the scene were visibly distraught, and some needed medical attention for their grief.

By the next morning, Houston Police homicide detectives had few leads beyond the description of the suspect vehicle. No arrests or identifications of suspects in the 2019 killing have been reported. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Houston Crime Stoppers. Does anyone in the area remember seeing a dark-colored SUV near Arapahoe around 4:40 p.m. on March 20, 2019?
