Henry Hernandez was a 27-year-old man from Houston who died on April 2, 2012, in a violent incident that was treated as a homicide. Court and trial records show the case involved multiple legal disputes and at least one defendant named David Hernandez who was implicated in the killing. Witness testimony played a central role during the trial, and the prosecution and defense were hampered when a potential witness invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify out of fear of self-incrimination. That refusal prevented certain testimony from being heard and became a contentious point in courtroom proceedings.

The case was described as part of a pattern of complex interpersonal violent events in Houston that year, and the trial records reflect how procedural and evidentiary issues complicated efforts to clarify what happened.
