Daniel Munoz was a 17-year-old Hispanic male killed on November 20, 2013, in a shooting at Peppermill Place Apartments northwest of downtown Houston. He was one of three people killed in the attack; the other fatalities were 21-year-old Yosselyn Alfaro and 17-year-old Veronica Hernandez. Two additional people survived with injuries.

Authorities identified the suspect as 27-year-old Johnathan Sanchez, also known as J Boi, a gang member with ties to a known street gang. Investigators reported Sanchez had threatened people at the complex and had been using hallucinogenic drugs in the days before the shooting. Multiple weapons and narcotics were found in the apartment. Sanchez was arrested a few days after the shooting and later sentenced to life in prison without parole for capital murder.

Munoz’s family described him as a sweet, respectful young man who had recently turned his life around after juvenile detention and mourned the missed opportunity to say goodbye.
