Aaron Ganther was 19 when he was fatally shot in Northwest Harris County in the predawn hours of January 1, 2011. Deputies were called to a disturbance in the 18400 block of Westgate Pasture and found Ganther suffering from gunshot wounds after a confrontation at a gathering escalated into deadly violence.

His killing came amid a violent New Year’s weekend in the Houston area, when multiple murders and fatal accidents stretched law enforcement resources and left the community on edge. Harris County authorities investigated Ganther’s death as part of a broader effort to piece together several incidents that weekend.

If anyone was at the gathering that morning or has information about the confrontation on Westgate Pasture, please share what you know with investigators.
