Juan Sanchez, 20, was killed in a double homicide outside Club Chapa at the Northwest Mall in Houston on May 13, 2010. He and another man named Pedro Sanchez were leaving the nightclub in the early morning when they became involved in a confrontation with a group of men who had also exited the venue. A silver Chevrolet Silverado pulled up, the driver began taunting the group, and as Juan and Pedro approached the vehicle they were both shot.

The driver, identified as Apolinar Aparicio-Mendez, fled in the pickup but was pursued and detained by nearby security officers at a dead-end at the Northwest Transit Center until police arrived. He later confessed and was charged with capital murder in the 179th State District Court. The motive is described as a spontaneous, hostile interaction outside the nightclub; other details about why the confrontation began are not provided.

If anyone was at Club Chapa that night or saw the pickup or the confrontation, please share what was observed.
