Basillio Martinez-Linare was 23 when he was killed on August 1, 2009, along a highway in the vicinity of Houston, Texas. Investigators tied his death to a web of drug-related activity and said he was targeted during an altercation connected to illegal drug dealings and disputes over money.

A Houston man named Juan Rojas Jr. was initially charged with murder in 2010, but prosecutors dropped charges then citing a lack of evidence. In a 2017 prison interview Rojas later confessed to shooting Martinez-Linare and said others were involved in the encounter. That confession prompted renewed investigation and further legal proceedings, with the Houston Police Department continuing to gather evidence and testimony.

What information do readers have about Martinez-Linare’s movements or associates around August 1, 2009 that might help clarify who else was involved?
