Carlos Delcid was fatally shot in Houston on October 28, 2011. He was 26 and was walking to his vehicle after leaving a nearby establishment near Westheimer Road and Fondren Road when an unknown assailant approached. Witnesses reported a brief altercation, then gunshots; Delcid was found on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The assailant fled immediately and no arrests were made. Investigators noted Delcid’s personal belongings were missing and at least considered robbery as a possible motive, but the case lacked concrete leads or surveillance footage and stalled. The Houston Police Department urged anyone with information to come forward.

Family and friends described Delcid as a hardworking person with a bright future; community members held vigils calling for justice and greater safety in the area. The case remains open; does anyone who was in the Westheimer and Fondren area that morning remember seeing anything that could help identify the shooter?
