Edwin Trigueros was a 16-year-old male from Houston who was shot to death on December 16, 2018. He was found at 5300 De Soto with fatal gunshot wounds. Investigators identified the shooting as carried out by members of the MS-13 gang.

Two men, Melvin Josue Salvador, 18, and Celso Onelio Sandoval, 25, were identified as the primary suspects and were charged with capital murder. Both were taken into custody and held in Harris County Jail. Reports say the prosecution’s case relied on witness testimony and forensic analysis, and that the matter involved gang-related activity.

Edwin’s death underscores the impact of gang violence on young people in Houston. If anyone knew Edwin, saw activity around 5300 De Soto on December 16, 2018, or has information about MS-13 activity in that area, please come forward.
