Lupita Roman, a 20-year-old woman from Houston, was fatally shot on January 20, 2014, during a confrontation that began between her neighbor and two men, Nestor Lorenzo Torres and Glenn Earl Holmes. The clash took place at about 8:10 p.m. near 5000 Pershing by Guadalcanal in southeast Houston. Torres and Holmes initially fought the neighbor; after Torres was defeated they left, gathered friends including Mark Anthony Smith, and returned to confront the neighbor and his family. During that confrontation Lupita and the neighbor were shot.

The neighbor survived; Lupita was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital and died of her injuries on February 2, 2014. Arrests followed: Torres on January 23, 2014; Smith on February 2, 2014; and Holmes on February 14, 2014.
