On May 31, 2016, 22-year-old Rodrigo Linares was killed during a chaotic shooting spree in west Houston near Memorial Drive and Wilcrest Drive. The attack began early in the morning when the gunman approached a car wash and fatally shot a man in his car; that assault escalated into nearly an hour of indiscriminate gunfire involving an AR-15 and other weapons. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded as the shooter fired on officers and bystanders, wounding three civilians and two Harris County constable’s deputies. One deputy survived after a bullet was stopped by his vest.

The rampage also included a fire at a nearby gas station that may have been sparked by a stray round. The shooter, identified as Dionisio Garza III, a military veteran with reported anti-government views, was ultimately killed by a SWAT officer. The motive remained unclear; memorials were placed at the scene and the neighborhood was left shaken.

Did anyone see activity in that area that morning or have information about Rodrigo’s movements before the shooting?
