On November 5, 2024, at about 6:45 p.m., a shooting at Tierra Del Sol Apartments, 8000 Cook Road in Houston, left three people dead: Eddie Gomez, 17; Jonathan Hernandez, 17; and Juan Trejo Sandoval, 23. Houston Police found Gomez and Hernandez unresponsive in the complex laundry room with fatal gunshot wounds. Sandoval was located just outside the laundry room with a gunshot wound and was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

HPD’s preliminary investigation says a disturbance between two groups in the laundry room escalated into an exchange of gunfire. A surviving suspect fled but was identified as 17-year-old Adiel Alexander Sandoval. On November 6, officers arrested him; he was charged with capital murder and denied bond at a November 7 court appearance, with a next hearing set for November 11, 2024. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact HPD Homicide Division.

If anyone witnessed the disturbance at Tierra Del Sol Apartments or has information that could help the investigation, please contact HPD.
