Erik Figueroa Bustos was 19 when he was fatally shot on October 10, 2012, at an apartment complex at 2200 Wirt Road in Houston. The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m., and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators tied the killing to an altercation, but the exact circumstances and motive have not been made public.

The case record identifies Alejandro Figueroa as a suspect and reports he was Bustos’s uncle, a detail that underscores the personal and tragic nature of the incident. The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division handled the investigation and asked anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Erik, Alejandro, or was in that complex on the night of October 10, 2012, any details could help clarify what happened.
