On October 13, 2023, at about 3:45 a.m., 29-year-old taco truck owner Roberto Almaguer Garza was fatally shot during an attempted robbery at his food truck at 8524 Gulf Freeway in southeast Houston. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators arrested two people in connection with the killing. On October 26, 2023, 21-year-old Jimmie Wayne Daniels was charged with capital murder; he was already in custody on unrelated felony matters when charged. A second suspect, 17-year-old Dominic Griffin, was arrested on November 16, 2023, and also charged with capital murder. Authorities allege Daniels confronted Almaguer Garza while Griffin stole and drove the getaway car.

Almaguer Garza was a father of three; his widow, Lorena Enriquez, said the family had been saving to return to their hometown of Monterrey and are now working to raise funds to repatriate his body to Mexico for burial. Does anyone have information about the robbery or the suspects that could help investigators?
