On June 18, 2006, 17-year-old Huy Ngo of Houston, Texas, was killed during a violent crime spree that targeted him and 23-year-old Maria Aparece. The two were in Aparece’s car outside Ngo’s home when a group of five people forced them into the back seat at gunpoint, then drove them around Houston while robbing them. The suspects took the couple to a wooded area where one of the assailants, Dexter Johnson, raped Aparece while others taunted Ngo. Johnson then marched both victims into the woods and shot them in the head.

Their bodies were found five days later. The investigation led to arrests of five suspects: Dexter Johnson, Keithron Fields, Timothy Randle, Ashley Ervin, and Alvie Butler. Johnson was later convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death; authorities said the group had been involved in a month-long crime spree that included two other murders, of Brady Davis and Jose Lopez. The killings devastated the victims’ families and the community.

Did anyone in Houston at the time have information about the movements of these victims or the suspects that hasn’t been shared publicly?
