On February 6, 2016, at about 5:05 a.m., 30-year-old Jonatan Casimiro-Flores was fatally stabbed outside his apartment complex at 9501 Beechnut Street in Houston. He and a roommate were preparing to leave for work when two masked men approached, demanded money at knifepoint and one assailant stabbed Casimiro-Flores multiple times after he resisted. Both suspects fled immediately.

Houston Police Homicide investigators identified two 21-year-old suspects, Cristian Enamorado (also known as Adalberto Martinez) and Roger Fernando Avila-Godinez, who were charged with capital murder in the 338th State District Court. At the time of the charges, Enamorado was in custody on an unrelated robbery case and Avila-Godinez was in federal custody for a separate incident. Fingerprints and other evidence linked them to the attack, and witnesses later placed them at a party after the murder where they had new cell phones, one matching the roommate’s.

The case was tied to Southwest Cholos gang associations. Does anyone who knew Jonatan or who was in that neighborhood that morning have information that could help explain what happened?
