Rafael Ralfie Reyes, 37, was found shot to death in the bedroom of the Houston townhome he shared with his boyfriend on May 27, 2017. A friend who visited the residence discovered Reyes’ bullet-riddled body and authorities opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators noted that Reyes’ roommate and boyfriend, Matt Franks, had died by suicide several days before Reyes’ body was found, and examined the possibility that Franks might have been involved.

Reyes’ family and friends remembered him as a vibrant member of the Houston community who loved traveling, volunteering and science fiction. If anyone knew Rafael, Matt Franks, or has information about what happened in that townhome in late May 2017, please come forward.
