On July 17, 2012, 33-year-old Mario Lopez-Godoy was found in the 7000 block of Bissonnet Street in Houston with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses saw a dark-colored vehicle fleeing the area shortly after the shooting, and the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division opened an investigation that struggled early on because of limited information and few immediate leads.

Investigators conducted interviews and collected evidence over the following months, and Crime Stoppers of Houston later offered a reward to encourage tips. Despite those efforts and ongoing involvement from Lopez-Godoy’s family and friends through memorial events and outreach, no significant breakthrough has been reported and the case remains open.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the dark-colored vehicle is urged to contact the Houston Police Department.
