Pedro Diaz Anzures, a 48-year-old Hispanic male from Houston, Texas, tragically died on December 27, 2022. Anzures, who was known for his friendly and kind-hearted nature, was an off-duty bouncer at a nightclub when he was shot and killed. According to friends and witnesses, Anzures was trying to calm a fight that broke out inside the club when he was shot by an unknown assailant.
Despite the club's rules against guns, the suspect, who was reportedly getting kicked out, opened fire on Anzures, who was unarmed.
The Houston Police Department launched an investigation into the incident and reviewed surveillance footage to identify the shooter. On January 6, 2023, they arrested Isaiah Gonzalez, a 29-year-old Hispanic male, and charged him with murder. Gonzalez was already in custody on unrelated charges when he admitted to his involvement in the shooting. He was subsequently charged in the 339th State District Court for his role in Anzures' death.
Anzures' friends and family remember him as a person with a heart of gold who always helped others. They held a vigil at the nightclub to honor his memory and to remember the man who lost his life trying to keep others safe. The community continues to mourn the loss of Anzures and seeks justice for his untimely death.
The case remains under investigation, and Gonzalez is scheduled to appear in court to face the charges against him. The Houston Police Department continues to work diligently to ensure that justice is served for Pedro Diaz Anzures and his grieving family.
