Ignacio Ortega, a 62-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed while gardening on November 7, 2016, in Houston, Texas. Ortega’s wife described him as a peaceful man with no enemies; he is survived by two children and his family continues to grieve.

An 18-year-old, Philip Battles, was arrested and charged with capital murder. In court Battles reportedly confessed, saying he and two others had planned the robbery that led to Ortega’s death. A witness also helped connect Battles to the crime. The family has expressed hope the suspects will be held accountable and prevented from harming others.

Are there any neighbors or gardeners who remember unusual activity around that house on November 7, 2016?
