Adam Sandoval, 18, was shot and killed on May 29, 2013, in northwest Houston. The shooting happened about 3:15 p.m. while Sandoval was inside a van parked in front of an apartment complex on Cedar Post Lane. Two individuals approached the van and after a brief conversation Sandoval tried to reverse, struck a tree, and was then shot multiple times. He died at the scene. His mother was sitting in the front passenger seat but was not physically harmed; she was taken for questioning to try to clarify what happened.

Neighbors said Adam and his family had once lived at the complex and that he was about to graduate from high school. Investigators described the suspects as two Hispanic males about 18 years old, around 5 feet 6 inches, slender, with short black hair, and suggested the shooting may have been gang-related. The suspects fled through the apartment complex and had not been apprehended at the time of this report.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
