Jaime Hernandez was 20 when he was fatally shot on December 12, 2016, in the IHOP parking lot at 6888 Gulf Freeway in Houston. The shooting happened about 1:40 a.m. after Hernandez and a friend cashed checks at a nearby business. They were followed by another vehicle to the restaurant, where an older model white four-door stopped and two men got out.

One armed suspect approached the driver side and the other the passenger side. As Hernandez tried to flee by putting his car in drive, the gunman fired multiple shots, killing him; the suspects then left in a third vehicle driven by another person. Investigators described the attack as a targeted robbery and noted concerns about lighting and security at the location that day.

If anyone has information about the people involved or the vehicles, please contact Houston Police or Crime Stoppers.
