Lerby Illescas was 21 when he was fatally shot in the early hours of September 26, 2009, in Houston, Texas. He was walking away from a friend’s apartment at 6601 Dunlap when two gunshots were heard; his friend found him lying on the walkway and he was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The wound was to the back of his head.

Houston Police Department investigators reported no immediate suspects, and robbery did not appear to be a motive. The case was left open due to a lack of leads. Friends and family have maintained his memorial and continue to commemorate his life while urging anyone with information to contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Houston area have information about Lerby’s movements that night or recall seeing suspicious activity near 6601 Dunlap around September 26, 2009?
