On September 2, 2016, 20-year-old Victor Anaya Jr. and 16-year-old Alexis Silva were fatally stabbed at the Cancun Apartments in Houston’s Spring Branch area after a security guard approached a group reportedly drinking and asked them to leave. A confrontation followed and both victims were stabbed; Victor Anaya Jr. was born June 4, 1996, and was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Houston.

Victor’s mother, Mary Helen Anaya, said she feared the Houston Police Department was not treating the case seriously because of the area’s association with gang activity; she and other family members called for a thorough investigation and justice. As of September 9, 2016, the security guard had not been charged and the investigation was ongoing. Civil litigation involving Cancun Apartments, Green City Security and others was later filed, and on May 9, 2017, defendants Donnie R. Minnard and Green City Security moved to compel interrogatory responses from Mary Helen Anaya, who intervened individually and as heir to Victor.

What information can help clarify the circumstances of that confrontation or the status of accountability?
