Juan Rodriguez, a 39-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed in his northwest Harris County neighborhood in Houston on December 3, 2009. According to his ex-wife Olga Contreras, Rodriguez was awakened by a gunshot around 2 a.m., went outside with his handgun after hearing commotion and attempted to intervene in a robbery at his neighbors’ home. He was struck by multiple gunshot wounds to the neck, face, legs and chest and was pronounced dead at Ben Taub General Hospital.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigated and considered the robbery to be drug-related. Sgt. Ben Beall of the homicide division said the suspects fled before deputies arrived and that investigators wanted to speak to neighbors who might have witnessed the crime or had knowledge of the suspects’ possible involvement in the drug trade. Rodriguez was remembered by family and neighbors as protective and active in the neighborhood watch; his ex-wife and community members described his actions that night as consistent with that character.

Who in the neighborhood might have seen the robbery or can help identify the people who fled the scene?
