Reuben Becerra DeLeon Jr. was 31 when he was shot to death on October 26, 2005, in Houston, Texas. He was off-duty and sleeping in an apartment reserved for officers working security when two suspects knocked, entered and shot him multiple times. The apartment was known to be used by police officers, and the suspects were later identified as gang members taking part in a gang initiation.

Another off-duty officer and witnesses saw the suspects flee the scene. Investigators arrested two suspects; the person who shot Officer DeLeon was convicted of capital murder and received life in prison. DeLeon, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, had served with the Houston Police Department for eight months and was survived by his wife and three children. His funeral was held October 29, 2005, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Rosenberg, Texas, and he was buried at Greenlawn Memorial Cemetery in Fort Bend County.

Does anyone have memories of Officer DeLeon or information about the apartment where officers were assigned security duty?
