Prudencio Tellez, 35, was shot in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 6100 block of Gulf Freeway in southwest Houston on August 14, 2010, at about 9 a.m. Tellez was not a resident of the complex and was standing outside when he was struck. He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital in critical condition and died the following day, August 15, 2010.

Witnesses reportedly heard gunshots and saw a young Hispanic male fleeing the scene, but no arrests were made immediately and no suspects were identified. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division has asked the public for information; the case remains unsolved and has been added to the department’s cold case list. Few clear leads or an established motive are mentioned.

If anyone remembers the scene that morning or has information about the person seen fleeing, please contact the Homicide Division.
