On May 4, 2023, 19-year-old Cesar Madeo Rios was shot and killed during a double shooting at an apartment complex on Houston’s southwest side. Another person was injured in the same incident. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and as of December 2024 no arrests had been reported; the case remains open.

The community response included a memorial page where people lit candles and shared memories, and a fundraising campaign was set up to support Rios’s family. Investigators continue to ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers; tips can be submitted anonymously and may be eligible for a cash reward.

If anyone has information about that night or saw anything at the apartment complex on May 4, 2023, please come forward.
