Rudy Muñoz Yanez, 41, was shot and killed at a residence on 4334 Spring Valley Road in Houston on November 7, 2023, around 12:20 a.m. A witness provided immediate medical aid and officers continued life-saving efforts, but Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced Yanez dead at the scene.

Police identified 43-year-old Timothy Andrew Griffin, described as a lifelong friend and business associate of Yanez, as the primary suspect. Investigators say a financial dispute is believed to be the motive. Griffin fled the scene with an unidentified Black male in a 2013 Toyota Corolla; that second individual remains at large. Griffin was arrested on November 13, 2023, and charged with murder in the 176th State District Court.

Yanez is survived by two sons, brothers, grandparents and other relatives. Does anyone have information about the unidentified passenger or other details that could help investigators?
