Erika Moreno was 29 when she was shot and killed on January 10, 2013, in Houston, Texas, around 11 p.m. She was driving near the 5400 block of Birdwood when a black Chevrolet Tahoe with black tinted windows and black rims pulled up. A group of men exited armed with a pistol; investigators say Moreno tried to flee by putting her Nissan SUV in reverse, but one of the men opened fire. Her SUV rolled into a fence and she was found slumped behind the wheel, dead at the scene.

Witnesses saw the Tahoe flee immediately afterward. No detailed descriptions of the suspects have been released, and a clear motive has not been identified. Investigators have suggested the shooting may have followed a botched carjacking since the suspects left without taking the vehicle after realizing Moreno had been shot. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $10,000 reward for information that could lead to an arrest.

Erika’s family described her as energetic and hopeful; she had been planning to begin training to become a truck driver. If anyone has information about that night or the Tahoe, please come forward to assist the investigation.
