Angelina Romero-Alvarez, a 50-year-old Hispanic woman from Houston, was shot and killed on December 5, 2014, in the parking lot of the Wilcox Apartments at 2400 South Loop West. She was about to get into her vehicle around 6 a.m. when an unknown suspect or suspects approached her; witnesses saw an unknown vehicle driving away from the scene.

Houston Police say Romero-Alvarez was one of several victims in a crime spree that began in mid-November 2014. In the early morning hours of December 5 two other women were robbed and shot in separate incidents within about two hours. Investigators linked those incidents and at least seven other similar attacks targeting Hispanic women in the area.

On December 19, 2014, HPD announced the arrests of Reginald Plair and Laquinta Dewayne Powell, both charged with capital murder in connection with Romero-Alvarez’s death and the related robbery-shooting incidents. Does anyone have information about Romero-Alvarez, the Wilcox Apartments, or those early-morning incidents?
