Charles Alvarez was 34 when he was shot to death on August 28, 2016, in northwest Houston. Surveillance video shows him standing next to a friend outside his house after an argument with a driver. Witnesses heard a loud pop they first thought was a firecracker; they then found Alvarez bleeding and struggling to breathe. He was shot once in the chest and later died.

Witnesses described the shooter as a driver with curly hair in a vehicle believed to be a Lincoln MKZ, but police have not released an identified suspect or confirmed vehicle. The motive is unknown, and it is not known whether Alvarez knew the shooter. His family, including a son and daughter, continue to grieve, and investigators say the case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw the argument, the vehicle, or has information that could help identify the driver, please come forward to investigators handling the case.
