Rigoberto Del Cid was 21 when he was fatally shot outside a nightclub on the 7000 block of Bissonnet Street in Houston on November 20, 2011, around 2:30 a.m. An unknown assailant approached and opened fire, striking Del Cid multiple times; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Houston Police Homicide canvassed the area, interviewed potential witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance footage, but leads were scarce and no immediate suspects were identified. The motive remained unclear, with investigators noting possibilities from personal dispute to random violence. The case went cold as witness cooperation and evidence failed to produce results; Crime Stoppers offered a reward and the department continued to appeal for tips.

Anyone who was in the Bissonnet nightlife area that night or who has information about Del Cid’s death is asked to come forward.
