Rosendo Contreras, a 27-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on July 17, 2018, in Houston’s Greater East End during a transaction that turned violent. The shooting took place during an argument at an apartment; after being wounded, Contreras got into a vehicle with his wife and child and attempted to drive away but crashed into a parked car and died of his gunshot injuries. Officers later found him deceased inside the car on the 1100 block of Maltby Street near Avenue L.

A 16-year-old male was also shot in the same incident and later presented himself to a fire station before being taken to a hospital. Questions remain about what led to the confrontation and who was responsible for the shooting. Did anyone in the area witness the argument or the events around Maltby Street that night?
