Johnny Paramo Torres, a 25-year-old Hispanic man, was shot in the face and killed on August 4, 2018, in Houston while visiting the city. The shooting followed a verbal altercation inside La Union Restaurant with three Hispanic men; as Torres exited the restaurant one of those men shot him.

Investigators linked the killing to MS-13. A 17-year-old El Salvadoran woman, Elida Lucia Jovel Medrano, was charged with first-degree murder for acting as the getaway driver after admitting she drove the car used by the shooters and attempting to flee the scene. Police continued to search for the gunman and two other accomplices.

A larger operation in Houston led to charges against 11 alleged MS-13 members in connection with five murders, including Torres’ death; the police characterized the suspects as unusually violent.

If anyone knew Johnny, was in La Union Restaurant that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
