Christopher Hinton Mena, a 35-year-old male from Houston, Texas, was found dead in his car on November 14, 2020. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Mena was discovered in the 9200 block of Cullen Boulevard, near Reed Road, in Houston. His death has been classified as a murder, and the case remains unsolved.
On the night before his death, Mena had completed a 16-hour shift as a security guard and went out with his cousin and some friends.
In the early hours of the next morning, he was too tired to make it home and pulled over his Jeep at a Walgreens parking lot on Cullen Boulevard and Reed Road to sleep. Surveillance footage revealed that individuals drove back and forth, noticed Mena asleep in his vehicle, and later returned on foot to shoot and rob him. The suspects were seen driving a 2007-2013 black Malibu, and one individual was captured on camera jumping a fence while wearing a camouflage hoodie.
Mena's mother, Marnita Hinton, has been actively seeking justice for her son. She has created social media pages and spent her savings to bring attention to the case. Despite her efforts, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made. Crime Stoppers has increased the reward for information leading to an arrest in the case to $15,000. The community's assistance is urgently needed to help bring those responsible to justice.
