Eduardo Mejia, 43, was shot and killed late at night on August 31, 2015, in Houston, Texas after an altercation that witnesses say escalated into gunfire. He died at the scene. The dispute that night was reportedly connected to tensions that had developed earlier that evening. After the shooting the suspect fled and the Houston Police Department opened an investigation.

HPD later identified a person of interest, Michael Alexander Mejia, and arrested him in connection with a separate incident involving another victim at a nearby location. Authorities described these incidents as part of ongoing conflicts that can be difficult to untangle. The Homicide Division continues to seek information and asks anyone with knowledge about the events that night to come forward.
