Christian Rangel was a 30-year-old Hispanic man from Richmond, Texas. He was remembered as a son, brother and boyfriend, survived by parents Reynaldo and Guillermina Rangel, brothers Luis and Alexis, his niece Dillyn, his girlfriend Mia Roldan and a large extended family.

On the night of Saturday, March 30, 2024, gunfire broke out at a 21st birthday party in Jacinto City, Harris County. A preliminary investigation suggested the shooting began after a likely petty verbal altercation. Christian and 22-year-old Candelario Gonzalez Jr. were both struck; both were taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. A neighbor reported hearing one initial boom followed by a rapid succession of shots, then two vehicles speeding away. Investigators said it was not publicly known whether the two victims had been party guests or involved in the argument, and they were looking into the possibility of a third person shot. No arrests had been announced and the homicide investigation remained ongoing.

Did anyone at the party or nearby hear or see the vehicles that left the scene?
