Miguel Escobar Jr., a 22-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on September 9, 2006, during an apparent carjacking outside his home on Larry Street in north Houston. Witnesses saw four Hispanic men in a maroon truck near the scene shortly before the shooting. His 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe with custom lime green over black paint and Texas plate 94KMP4 was taken and recovered the next day, stripped of its custom parts.

The Houston Police Department classifies the case among its cold cases and has periodically revisited the investigation, offering a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction; the family has added an extra $5,000 reward. Miguel’s family and friends remember him for his love of cars and his work with his father at their auto shop, and they continue to seek any leads.

Did anyone in north Houston see a maroon truck or those four men around Larry Street on September 9, 2006?
