Michael Yates Jr., 39, of Houston, was fatally shot on July 10, 2016 while fishing with family friends at Halls Bayou. As the group was leaving, a 25-year-old man identified as Jose A. Rios approached and spoke with one of Yates’ companions.

After shooting Yates, Rios reportedly tried to shoot the other friend but the gun jammed; that friend escaped and sought help while Rios fled. Charges of murder were filed in 2016 and Rios was said to have fled to Mexico. The case record notes that Rios was located and returned to Harris County in August 2022 to face those charges.
