Jose Alfonso Villanueva, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on July 29, 2018, in Houston, Texas. Five MS-13 members were waiting; they reportedly attacked him with a machete and shot him as he tried to flee.

Investigators say Morales knowingly brought Villanueva to a prearranged ambush. Subsequent prosecutions are described as resulting in convictions and prison sentences for Morales and the five gang members. The case is presented as an example of a planned, violent attack tied to gang retaliation after an alleged disrespect in a rap battle.

Does anyone have memories of Villanueva or information about the area in Spring where this happened that could add context to what took place?
