Carlos Castaneda, a 23-year-old Hispanic male, was found bleeding in the street near a pickup truck in Houston, Texas, on June 11, 2016. He had driven to Houston from Brownsville for reasons that remain unclear. Paramedics responded but Castaneda succumbed to his injuries; the case is described as a fatal shooting.

The investigation led to the arrest of 28-year-old Vincent Mclendon, who was charged with murder in connection with the shooting. Mclendon was taken into custody on May 24, 2017, and charges were filed in the 209th State District Court. A witness who reported seeing Castaneda lying in the street prompted the emergency response.

Castaneda is remembered by family and friends as welcoming, thoughtful, and generous. He is survived by his wife, Christina Castaneda, and three sons, Lorenzo, Francisco, and Valentino; a GoFundMe was organized to help cover funeral expenses. Does anyone have information about Castaneda’s activities in Houston that day or about the pickup truck seen at the scene?
