Edward Guerrero, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed in Houston on February 18, 2019, during an attempted robbery. He had arranged to meet a group of men who posed as buyers for marijuana; when Guerrero drew his own gun in self-defense, one of the men, identified as Daniel Leyva, shot him in the head, killing him.

Houston Police investigated and arrested multiple suspects. Cristopher Ernesto Perez, Juan Castillo, and Daniel Cisneros Leyva were charged with murder and arrested. A fourth man, Joel Ruiz, was charged with capital murder. Leyva was later found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; Perez and Castillo received 35-year sentences.

The family’s loss is recorded alongside these convictions. If anyone knew Guerrero, the men he met that day, or saw activity near the meeting location on February 18, 2019, please come forward with information.
