Walter Torres, 47, was fatally shot in the back of the head on February 21, 2023, while heading to work at the Windfield II apartments, 10110 Forum W Dr., in southwest Houston. An Uber driver found his body about 5:23 a.m., a lunch bag beside him. Officers initially thought natural causes, but a closer examination revealed a gunshot wound to the head.

Family members remembered Torres as a hardworking father of five who helped support his family and sent money to his mother.
