Pedro Aguilar, a 47-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on March 11, 2017, in Houston, Texas. The family was returning to their apartment complex in the 800 block of Richcrest Drive at about 11 p.m. when two men approached as they parked. One man, described in reports as wearing a black hoodie, pulled Pedro from the car and, during an attempted carjacking, shot him with a handgun. A second suspect, described as wearing a long sleeve white shirt, was also involved; both fled on foot after they could not drive the vehicle because it had a standard transmission.

Investigators released surveillance video showing a small car driving through the neighborhood around midnight and two males—one in light-colored pants walking quickly and another with a backpack running—leaving the area. Authorities believe the suspects were possibly dropped off and later picked up by a small white vehicle, and that they were likely in their late teens to early 20s. A $5,000 Crime Stoppers reward was offered for information leading to arrests and charges.

Pedro’s death devastated his family and community; his 18-year-old son was left grieving instead of spending time with his father. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office continued to seek additional video and suspect information. If anyone knew Pedro, saw activity near Richcrest Drive that night, or has information about the two men or the vehicle that may have dropped them off, please come forward.
