Iris Valentina Teruel-Pineda was 22 when she was fatally shot on September 7, 2016, in southwest Houston. She was preparing to leave for work early that morning, backing her vehicle out of the driveway at 12103 Creekhurst Drive, when an unknown male approached from the rear, walked up to the driver’s side window, and fired several shots. Iris died at the scene; a co-worker who was with her was unharmed.

The assailant fled and was not captured. He was described only as a male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt; no confirmed motive or known personal dispute has been reported. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division continues to investigate and has appealed for tips from the public.

If anyone has information about who the man in the gray hooded sweatshirt might be or any detail about that morning, please contact HPD or Crime Stoppers.
