Joshua Reyes was 17 when he was shot and killed on May 5, 2017, in Houston. The shooting followed a robbery earlier that evening in which Joshua and friends took a wallet, marijuana, and several hits of acid from a drug dealer. An argument over the distribution of the stolen items escalated in the 6700 block of Westover.

According to accounts, Angel Fat Angel Lopez, 18, confronted Joshua and a friend, produced a revolver and fired, striking Joshua in the leg and torso. Witnesses said Joshua may have fired back once before collapsing. Lopez fled in his mother’s car, pointed the gun at Houston Police Officer J. Green during a pursuit, then abandoned the vehicle and escaped on foot. Officer Green returned to find Joshua’s body. Lopez was arrested later that day and charged with murder and aggravated assault against a public servant; he was held in Harris County Jail with bail set at $150,000 and the case was assigned to the 174th State District Court.

Did anyone in the area know Joshua or see the events on Westover that night?
