Two people were found shot to death in a Houston home on November 6, 2015: 2-year-old Linette Cano and her 26-year-old mother, Veronica Mercado. Police discovered the bodies about 10 a.m. in the 7800 block of Elvera; both victims had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Jonathan Figueroa as the suspect. He was described as Mercado’s boyfriend and not Linette’s father. Police say Figueroa entered the home, shot both victims, then fled in a maroon Ford Taurus, Texas plate CTS3225, believed to be headed toward the Mexico border. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division handled the investigation.

The deaths prompted community mourning and a fundraiser to help the surviving family. Does anyone have information about Linette, Veronica, or the vehicle seen leaving that morning?
