Nelson Maldonado was 26 when he was shot and killed outside a Houston bar on November 19, 2009. His body was found at the scene after an altercation; investigators were unable to identify suspects or establish a clear motive, and the case went cold.

The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division later assigned the file to its Cold Case Squad, which re-examines long-unsolved homicides and develops new leads. The squad has reopened other stalled investigations with some success, and it continues to seek information that might resolve Maldonado’s death and bring closure to his family.

If anyone has information about Nelson Maldonado, the circumstances outside that bar on November 19, 2009, or the people involved, please contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
